Re: 159 Sqn Liberator damaged 23 July 1942
Hello,
AL534, Liberator II, Operation to Benghazi, 23rd July 1942.
Details of this loss and crew fates can be read on page 165 of Vol 1: 1939-1942 of "RAF Bomber Losses in the Middle East and Mediterranean" by David Gunby & Pelham Temple.
Two crew killed including one RCAF, five crew pow including one RCAF.
No Banks in the crew.
Most likely as you state, it was another Liberator which made it back over allied territory before crashing, therefore not "lost" as position was known, and crew returned.
