Burial records

I was told that some of the bodies of downed pilots and crew were temporarily buried by french locals and some by German soldiers. My uncle was buried after his plane went down on 15 Sept 43 over Paris France. He was later moved to Arlington National Cemetery in the United States in 1949. So there should be records kept somewhere for them to be able to return him to the States. Is there any way to find out where he was originally buried. Five of his crew are in the Epinal American Cemetery and another one in Lorraine American Cemetery.
