Took off from Carney Field at 705am on a search mission "X-Ray" shipping search to the north-west, then return to the same airfield, with good weather. This bomber failed to return and the crew was declared Missing In Action (MIA).

Possibly, this B-24 was shot down by 251st Kōkūtai J1N1 Irving piloted by Satoru Ono with observer Okado, which claimed a B-24 shot down.

Memorials
The crew was officially declared dead on January 21, 1946. Memorialized on the tablets of the missing at Manila American Cemetery.
