"Initial heat" - Confirmed, the aircraft was on fire prior to it crashing.

"Heat increased significantly after the crash" - Confirmed, from Phil's unpublished research, the aircraft was seen to explode by eyewitnesses.

"Matt olive green colour" - Confirmed, from Phil's unpublished research, these aircraft were normally unpainted aluminium but this aircraft had recently been painted camouflage green in preparation for D Day.

"Wilma" - Unable to confirm if this was the nickname but it was common practice amongst crews to name their aircraft.

"One or two did survive" and "Caterpillar Club" - Confirmed, from Phil's unpublished research, one became a member of this club if you bailed out of a damaged aircraft using an Irvin parachute, two of the crew did bail out and survived.

None of the crew had names beginning with a "J".

"Harry" - Possibly confirmed, one of the crew was named Harold and, although Harry is more commonly a pet form of Henry, research shows it can also be used as a pet form of Harold.
A three digit number ending with "th" - Confirmed, the aircraft belonged to 446th Bomber Group.

"These three were the ones whose bodies were recovered" - from Phil's unpublished research, all the bodies were eventually recovered, three were buried in this country.

"th signified their Bomber Group rather than their Squadron" - Confirmed as being related to their Bomber Group, the Squadron number was not proceeded by a "th".

"Cartoon character" - Confirmed.
"Emblem" - Possibly confirmed, there could also have been two other emblems on the aircraft - that of the Bomber Group and that of the Bomber Squadron. Both had red in them, the Group one was a shield and did have a ribbon (belt) near the bottom containing a motto. No stars in this but the Squadron emblem did have a single star.
