The aircraft loss information is from the 1944 edition of "Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War" by WR Chorley. The raid information is from "The Bomber Command War Diaries" by Middlebrook and Everitt. The Chorley series documents every aircraft lost in Bomber Command during the War - there are thick volumes for every year. The War diaries documents every raid flown by Bomber Command during the War. Both are compulsory if you carry out any serious research into BC losses.
If you want to check that this is him, then I suggest that his next of kin apply for his service record which is available at a cost of £30 from here.....
https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records . This will list all of his postings etc.
If we do have the right man here, then there will be information about the man and aircraft at the RAF Wickenby Memorial Collection. This is their website with information on who to contact.
