Re: P-38 crash in Drvar, Bosnia, in September 1944.

Alex, I looked over MACR 3880. Eight of the crew evaded. The pilot, Frederick E Streicher was a POW and has a post war statement in the MACR. The co-pilot, George E Morrell was from New Jersey and he was killed on the ground and was buried in Yugoslavia.

However, Morrell is not on the current AAF MIA list here:

nor on the current Army MIA list here:

nor the combined services list for New Jersey here:

He is not buried in an ABMC overseas cemetery as can be checked on the abmc.gov website.

I think Morrell's body was recovered and returned after the war.
