460th Bomb Group loss

Hello,

Seeking details of the loss of a 460 BG/761BS a/c on the 6th April, 1944.

Crew names of those lost are-
1Lt. Orris J. FORBES, - 14169560.
S/Sgt. Raymond A. DEMERS - 31284403.
Sgt. Anthony H. LARSCHEIDT - 37340327
Sgt. Walter S. SKRZYNSKI - 13107823.

MACR 16141
But the names of the other crew members and a/c serial number is not in the report.

Thanks
Alex

There is an account of the loss here, see page 16.

The plane that was lost was flown by Lt Fred B Smith. Spear actually returned to base (late).

Frederick B Smith was later killed over Vienna on 16 June, 1944.
