I realize it has been quite sometime since you inquired, but just found this web site.  According to the record I have,S/Sgt Carrol Talent was killed in action during a bombing raid on a Synthetic Oil Plant in Meeseburg, Germany on 04 Nov 1944.  

My Father-in-law was also a crewmember on that Aircraft.  Hope I have helped.
