Looks like 42-52635 was the B-24 that was recovered from Lake Balaton between 1951-1954 from the depth of 5 m at Siófok-N, 3-4 km from the shore. 2 wings, 4 engines, 4 props, 2 wheels, weapons and fuselage-parts have been recovered by ship-crane. Few years ago a ~6-8 m long B-24 fuselage part was found nearby, probably from the very same plane. By the way, today is the 73rd anniversary of her crash...
