B-24J Crash in Austria near Linz, Feb. 23_1944

[Emmerich]

Hello !
I'd need some informations to 42-100265, MACR 2720

particularly about the fate of two crew members:
1) Gunner 2: 33238246, Arthur C. Bare (Missed)
2) Gunner 7: 33226865, Arthur C Melius (Killed)

Found?, brought home and buried in US ?

Thank you

Emmerich
