Mission History
Shot down over Palau with the loss of the entire crew.

Wreckage
The left wing of this bomber remains 'in situ' upside down in shallow water off Koror.

Pat Scannon adds:
"I found this wing in 1993 which ignited my interest in MIAs in Palau."

Memorials
Postwar, remains were recovered from the crash site and were later transported to Manila American Cemetery and stored in the mausoleum.

The remains of Dixon, Wilson, Duncan, Tenton, Sarles, Feeney, Elliott, Mansell and Holt were buried at Zachary Taylor National Cemetery on January 23, 1951 in a group grave at section I site 226 and site 227.

Two members of the crew, Farnam and Biggerstaff, are not listed as MIA but are not buried with the rest of the crew, and is likely in a private cemetery.
