I am attaching various 44th Bmb Gry, 461, 98th and 376th Bmb Grp Photos and various other bombing photos for you to eventually identify the missing aircrafts as well the loction of the bombings. All photos were taken between Aug 1943 till August 1944 over Ploesti , Boucharest and other Roumanian cities. Bellow is the Otopenin BN photo

Bombing of Chitila Marshall Yards near Boucarest ( presumably 1944) target priority and results unknown, from BN who's still alive , confirmed me that post bombing recon photos showed minor damages...ARR scrambled 15 aircrafts on that day and flack was heavy to severe
