"Fury from the North" says it was destroyed by own forces when they evacuated Taejon on 20Jul50.
Baugher says it crashed 28Jul50 near Chonju after engine fire caused by small arms fire.

Are you sure the tail number is correct? I did a search on the US air losses in Korea, no US aircraft with tail number 44-34263 was lost in Korea, and there was no US B-26 losses on 20Jul50 (actually there was not a single US loss on Jul201950), however 13th BS did lost a B-26B loss on 28Jul50, the cause was "Hit by gnd fire, flying on one engine, crashed into mountain ridge near Chong Ju" , three crew members were killed
