Revelant paragraph from this page  : 

Tom McLeod of Texarkana, Texas, a historian for the 1st Marine Division 
Association and a noted MIA researcher, said the ‘Black Sunday bombing mission on 
April 16, 1944, to Hollandia, New Guinea, was a massive operation that included 
Cooleys plane. ‘The Fifth Air Force with a formation of approximately 100 
B-24 bombers lost 37 aircraft to a late-afternoon frontal system which cut them 
off from their home bases of Gusap, Nadzab and Saidor’ McLeod said. ‘Another 
nine bombers were seriously damaged, and as a result the Fifth Air Force 
suffered its largest operational loss of the war. The freak weather created the 
biggest weather-related loss in aviation history. The weather forced Cooley to 
alter his course and head for the airfield at Saidor, southeast of Madang. He was 
never heard from again.
