USAAF plane - Missing Caribbean - 24 Jan 1943

[Leendert]

On 24 Jan 1943 a USAAF airplane went missing on a flight between Borinquen Field, Puerto Rico and Waller Field, Trinidad. The plane was on its way to N. Africa.
Among the passengers was Major Lewin B. Barringer (O-322165) who was chief of the army glider production and training program and who had made fame in the glider world before.
Crew: Lt John J. Torrillo (P), Lt Albert O. Bain (CP), Lt John G. Marvin (N), TSgt Joseph Dragelis (E), Sgt John A. Miller (RO).
Other passengers were Col. Walter S. Smith, and dentists Lt Anees K. Khoury and Lt John D'Azzo.

I found no reference to this loss on sites as AAIR and accident-report.com or what type of airplane the men were in, all still listed as missing.

All further info welcome, thanks.
