B-24 loses in Drnis area - 26.12.1944

Friends

26.12.1944 crashed B-24 s/n 42-78606. Plane was from 451th BG from 726 BSqn. Pilot Lt William F. Jackson. MACR 10785. EER was made only for pilot (A6544B p. 940-943). Unfortunatelly inside is nothing about crash place. I also checked memories of co-pilot Harry O. Rohde on page 451thBG but he only suppouse that the plane after they bailed out crashed in the sea.

I am looking for any info where this plane crashed. I have knowledge that in Drnis area crew bailed out. Unfortunatelly I cant find any info about crash place this LIberator.
Please help.

Janusz

From the macr all 10 crew returned.

Macr has 7 pages including a map wich gives a rough idea as to where the a/c was last seen.

The info i found was this from yugo crashed list:
42-78606. Last seen 45 34N 16 44E additional info D. Frka (Danijel?)

I assume you already have mission reports A6494 and A6450 too.
