Hi Nonny,

Just this for you.

vague date makes it not so easy.

Could it have been earlier? if so then -

466 BG, 787 BS
42-52584
Shot down by Fw190's some 30 m Sof Brussels , is that near ?
a/c letter " F "
name "Worry Bird II"
MACR 4803

Pilot : Lt. Warren M. Allender
Copilot: 2Lt. Horace F. Hall

Four crew POW; six crew KIA

Then there was -

458BG, 752 BS
42-100365
Shot down on 12th July 44
Crashed at Harveng (?)
name "Battlin Betty" or "Battlin Baby"

And also -

801 BG, 788 BS
