This link (starting at the 2nd post by Juri_JS) has some actually photos of Mears plane during the mission to Singapore. The photos can also be found on fold3.com in the VPB-111 section (as the photos were taken from the VPB-111 plane). Note that Mear's plane was a single tail Privateer and Heylers plane was actually a "B-24" twin tail. Their route took them around the top of Singapore.

From these and other photos on fold3.com you can pretty much track the flight by identifying the background. They flew over Malaysia and took photos such that they could see any ships located around Singapore Island. There are a couple of more photos on fold3.com which show the Privateer fairly close up and on fire, another just moments before it crashes as it flies over a ship at about 300 feet altitude. There is a final shot which shows some wreckage and ripples in the water, just an instant after the crash. Heyler's crew had the opinion that no one could have survived the crash as the plane went down very fast at the end, but Heyler did not "circle" or hang around to see what happened as he was under attack by Oscars. Also there was the Japanese ship very close to the crash site. So the mystery is, did the nearby ship actually pick up anyone or not?
