Re: B-24 lost on May 18, 1944?
Hello,
Looking at the tail it seems to me that the top half of the tail unit has been painted or repainted(Red) . If you look closely at the position where the serial number would be you may be able to make out the over painted number.
For my money this a/c was of the 49th Bomber Wing, therefore either of the 451st,461st or 484th Bomber Groups.
Group markings changed over April/May 44 period.
Perhaps the date as given is incorrect.
I would humbly suggest that it could be 42-52355 - 460BG - 18th May 1944. MACR 5044.
