I am interested in finding out if the B-24 Liberater, Destiny Deb, serial number 42-78170, was ever salvaged or was it destroyed or forgotten after being shot down over Romania (?).
Official Home of the 450th BG Association plenty on her here, crew photos, missions, macr.. and maybe contacting them, you may find the answer..
The ship was destroyed. Per the MACR, it was hit by flak and the #4 engine was on fire. The crew bailed out and the ship was seen to explode and go down in flames just west of Ploesti. All ten crew members survived.
