Going into the bomb run, Davis's plane was shot down by a Japanese J1N1 night fighter. The plane was seen to go down in flames, and an air search of the area failed to locate the plane or crew. They were all officially declared dead on January 11, 1946.
Because his body was not recovered, Davis's name is inscribed on the Tablets of the Missing. He was awarded the Air Medal and the Purple Heart.
