Are you sure the tail number is correct? I did a search on the US air losses in Korea, no US aircraft with tail number 44-34263 was lost in Korea, and there was no US B-26 losses on 20Jul50 (actually there was not a single US loss on Jul201950), however 13th BS did lost a B-26B loss on 28Jul50, the cause was "
Hit by gnd fire, flying on one engine, crashed into mountain ridge near Chong Ju" , three crew members were killed
