Re: USAAF Mission on 26th August 1944
According to Roger A. Freeman, The Mighty Eighth War Diary (London: Arms & Armour Press, 1990), pp. 333-34, the attack you speak of was very clearly flown by P-47s and P-51s from VIII Fighter Command, which dispatched 389 of them to fly fighter-bomber attacks on transportation targets in Belgium, eastern France and western Germany on that date, dropping a total of 54.0 tons of bombs. If you do a search on the internet, you should be able to find more specific information. For example, I googled "VIII Fighter Command 26 August 1944" and got 14,500 hits, some of them looking very promising.
