Following statement obtained by S-2 Section, 452nd Bomb Group (H) at interrogation after return of mission.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A\/C 361 sustained a flak hit in the vicinity of the I.P., at which point one engine was observed on fire and the A\/C left the formation – peeling off in front of the formation slowly circling to the left and headed got the North Sea. The A\/C was then flying at 25000 feet and appeared to be completely under control. When the A\/C fell out of formation both escape hatches were seen to come off and four to six chutes were observed from the plane. No further information concerning to loss of this A\/C has been obtained, however, one returning crew reported observing an oil spot and dinghy off the coast at 5410N – 0734E (observation made at 1333 hours, from 20000 feet on a 320\u00b0 heading) which they think might have been from the missing A\/C 361.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
