Can anyone here please help me to pinpoint the serial number, unit and any other information about a USAAF B-24 Liberator that was (probably) destroyed on the ground at Bomber I, Henderson Field, Guadalcanal on the 13th of March 1943, when No. 3 Squadron RNZAF Hudson NZ2037 swung on landing in a crosswind and smashed into the parked bomber? The Hudson was a wreck and the Liberator substantially damaged so I suspect was written off.
I'd very much like to find out more info on the Lib and its unit for my book on the Hudson squadrons. Thanks.
I'm hoping to ID a B-24 lost in Cactus collision

Possibly 31st Bomb Squadron?

Thanks PF, I'll look further into that lead.
