Re: US 8th Airforce - 11/01/44 2 Fortresses to identify.

And the other possibility that I can find is
42-37824 "Miss Boo" of 711 BS, 447th BG. Ditched in the sea and sank within 40 seconds. Crew all got into life-rafts and an RAF Hudson circled for 3 hours until an ASR launch rescued the crew.

Same source. A quick glance through the day's entries show all other losses to have come down over land.

However, several additional aircraft were written off after suffering crashlandings: 42-5804 "Hell's Halo" of 323rd BS, 91st BG; 42-37940/LG- "Spirit of '44" of 322nd BS, 91st BG; 42-29524/VK- "Meathound" of 358th BS, 303rd BG; 42-31136/WW-D of 369th BS, 306th BG and 42-31090/IN-L "Nasty Habit" of 613th BS, 401st BG.
