USAAF 511th Fighter Squadron P-47's crashsites Belgium

For two USAAF P-47 crashsite researchs in Belgium we are currently looking for pictures of the concerned aircraft and it’s pilots.
Both pilots operated with 405th Fighter Group, 511th Fighter Squadron and they took off on 14-03-1945 for the last time from the Y-32 Advanced Landing Ground situated at Ophoven, Opglabbeek, Belgium (data found on several websites state wrongly that they operated from France). The Fighter Group stayed only for a few weeks in Belgium. Before, they were stationed in France.
The pilots were:
1st Lt. Henry T. Rickert (O1995958)
and
F/O Eugene F. Palmer (T192077)
The aircraft:
P-47D 28 RA serial 42-29263
and
P-47D 28 RE serial 44-20270
We are only looking for pictures or information about direct relatives.

In the book "Thunder Monsters Over Europe, by Reginald G. Nolte" there is little mentioned about the pilots or the aircraft.

Thank you in advance!
