B-26 Gunner Downs 2 ME-262s

I'm looking for info on a B-26 vs ME-262 combat in which the B-26 top turret gunnet was credited with downing 2 262s. The debris from the first one hit the B-26 causing serious damage.
The B-26 gunner in question was SSgt Ed "Tye" Tyszkiewicz S/N 36868066. The combat occured on April 20, 1945 and it was in B-26C "Jolly Roger" s/n 41-34942 YU+U. 455th BS 323rd BG 9th AF.
Any info on this combat or Luftwaffe losses would be appreciated.
