Gary !

Very interesting questions !

Unfortunately, I have no ideas to yor first case, acting in France.

But the Jarvis, III, case seems to be more interesting in probable investigation.

There is indeed no entry for this pilot and his a/c in the (regular) list of the MACR, listed day-by-day.

1st Lt. Wilbur L. Jarvis was shot up by FLAK in the area of Düsseldorf, Germany, at about 16:30 h and the pilot was seen bailing out.

This is a fact, according to the OPREP "A" report by 474th FG, # 156 for 24 hours, ending 24 hours, ending 27 Sept. 44.

Lt. Jarvis was later in his status as a POW transported to STALAG-Luft 1 in Barth.

There is no entry this date in the MACR-files, but an according (supposes) entry into German files. The LGK-report # J 2207 gives a LIGHTNING at about 17:30 h on 27 Sept. 1944 "10 km. E. Krefeld", which is considerable close to the "OPREP" reported crash-location, as well as the time fits.

For more infos, please contact me by PN.

All the best !
