At that date , 04.06.1942, a B-26 Marauder 40-1442 was flak damaged and ditched in the sea near the Trobriand Islands, of which Kiriwina Island is one. The plane belonged to 408th BS. Pilot was 2nd Lt. A.J. Moye. 40-1422 was shot down by flak over Buna January 3rd 1943. Maybe 22nd BG can supply more info http://www.redraiders22bg.com/
