Mission 91 was to Mannheim on 19 Oct 1944. On either 11 July 1944 or 7 Nov 1944 (however you interpret 07/11/1944) the 487th BG had no missions according their website. Groet, Leendert

Alain,

486th BG flew mission 91 to Cologne on 14 Oct 1944. They indeed had a crash landing in Belgium that day: 43-38029 ("Honeychile") somewhere in the LiÃ¨ge area.
Full story on http://www.486th.org/photos/Letters/Warren_Brown.htm and also pictures of wreckage on the 486th BG website here: http://www.486th.org/BS835/Olson.htm

Groet,

Leendert
