Several days later, on April 9, 1943, to be exact, a report was sent to the commanding officer of the Ninth Bomber Command. Besides summarizing the results of the raid, the number of damaged airplanes and injured crewmen, the report mentioned that "Aircraft 64 Lieutenant Hatton and Aircraft 31 Lieutenant Iovine (were) unaccounted for."
Prior to the aforementioned report being sent, it had already been confirmed that Lt. Iovine had landed at Malta, after running low on fuel. So, the only "real" missing aircraft was Aircraft 64: Lady Be Good.
