Does anyone have access to Missing Air Crew Reports (MACRs) from WWII. I'm interested in a report on a B24J (Tail #44-40363) that was shot down over Formosa (Taiwan) on 13 June 1945. According to sources, the report number is 14624. The air crew of this particular aircraft are now interred in a mass grave at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, St. Louis, MO. The pilot of this plane was a relative, and I'd love to know more about him and the men he served with.
Missing Air Crew Reports (MACRs) - from the NARA website. Also, Fold3.com has some MACRs. You should be able to access them with their trial membership.
You'll probably have to order it from the National Archives. Here is the link to what you want: https://eservices.archives.gov/orderonline/start.swe?SWECmd=GotoView&SWEScreen=GPEA+Microfilm+MIF&SWEView=GPEA+Microfilm+Landing+Page+View+MIF The MACR you want should be on fiche 5320 (MACRs #14642 - #14644) It appears that you have found http://www.kensmen.com/ Have you had any luck contacting them?
Thank you for your assistance. It was the team from kensmen.com that clued me into the MACR. My sources at Ancestry.Com provided me with the list from the US National Cemetery Interment Control Records.
Thanks, Takao. Biak talked me into joining Fold3 some time ago and I haven't regretted it. What a great website! I did try accessing the MACRs without logging in and it will require a trial membership to see & download the reports.
