Hello Alain,
Just to make sure about the a/c serial number.
44-8417, 385BG/550BS Mia Dresden, 2nd March 1945 MACR 12858.
OR
43-38417,"Lady be Good", 385BG/551BS force landing at Nivelles Airfield,Belgium on the 28th March 1945; repaired and returned to Group; Returned to US Bradley 27th June1945; 4168 BU South Plains 3rd July 1945; RFC Kngman 24th November, 1945.

I expect it to be "Lady be Good" that you want ?
Could not find anything in Losses of the 8th & 9th Air Forces, volume 6.
Alex
