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
