That's who I contacted, the author of "In a now Forgotten Sky", Dennis C. Kucera. I furnished him a portion of your post and the link to this thread. Hopefully he will show up rather quickly.
I double checked the book for July 5th 1944 and the only notaion on Lt. Taylor was that ... "[he was unlucky and the 31st FG made a couple of sweeps but did not find him]".
Concerning game screens, I think you can use them as long as you give credit to UBI and Maddox games, but again I'm not a lawyer.
We could do a couple of things, we can fly them around, make screens and send them off to some screen shot artist like Graf or Simplex.

However, if you want a very very good profile, many are around but in my opinion Ink is right up there with the best.
I sent off what I had as textures (skins to Jester) I'll be more than glad to texture/create a skin of Lt. Taylor's aircraft once the tail code is identified.
All the best,
