Re: P-47 Loss 13 Jun 43
Chris,
There does not appear to be a MACR for 41-6353, or any P-47 on June 13, 1943. The problem is that the MACR system did not officially start until about July 1, 1943. Any MACRs for losses before that date are fortuitous. Sometimes a unit would prepare MACRs for recent losses before July 1. Othertimes they were prepared as a result of a request from higher headquarters for a MACR, usually triggered by a request for information by a family member to a Congressman, who turned around and passed the request to the Air Force. There are MACRs for 1943 losses prepared in 1945.
Enjoy!
Frank.
