Via Panola Express

I have pictures of the 'Via Panola Express' crashed november,10,1944 in south of Brussels, Belgium.
the plane made an emergency landing on the border between Nivelles and Ophain B-S-I.
The BS was 42-102968, 534th BS. The pilot was Tom Shillings. I have a NSA catalog number : 66078AC. But I don't found other information about this plane and I'm looking about information to write an article in our local newspaper.
Could you help me?
Obviously i can send to you the copy of the pictures.
