MACR 4855?

http://www.armyairforces.com/dbmacr.asp

Got me this Result

MACR # Date A/C Type Serial # Group Squadron
4855 5/12/1944 B-17 42-31343 96 338
4855 4/29/1944 B-24 41-29269 450

http://www.aviationarchaeology.com/src/dbMACR.htm

Got me this result

MACR Number Date Aircraft Type AAF S/N Group Sqdn Pilot
4855 44/04/29 B-17 42-31343 96 338 Lewis
4855 44/05/12 B-24 41-29269 450

NOTE THAT THE DATES ARE REVERESED AT EACH SITE!!!

I would tend to go with the later result, because the Pilot’s name is provided, however the 96th Bomb Group Association indicates the Group lost no Aircraft on April 29, 44?

Thanks,
Rob Romero
