Thumbs down B-24 Crashed near Gmunden Austria-Apr 25,1945

Pilot John W Greenman (St. Paul, Minn USA) and crew bailed out OK but no one has found the wreck.
The bomber was hit by flack on the final run towards Linz, Austria, dropped its bombs with only port side power still going.
After bailing out, the plane apparently continued on auto-pilot until it crashed somewhere near Gmunden, Austria...all this on April 25th, 1945.

Does anyone have any information or know how I can get more information about this bomber crash??

I'm writing for my uncle: John W. Greenman

sincerely,
John F. Greenman
