Lt Col Keith N. Allen - KIA 21 Sep 1944 - Murmansk

Lt Col Keith Allen (O-303121) flew special missions from RAF Leuchars within the USAAF detachment there led by Col Bernt Balchen.
On 21 Sep 1944 Allen's B-24 was shot down over Murmansk by Russian naval flak.

Apparently no MACR filed. Who has the s/n of the B-24? Allen was the only one who got killed, rest of crew had bailed out.

Thanks for info.
