Re: USAAF Survivors from Sinking of Italian Submarine Narvalo - 14 Jan. 1943
One reason for the lack of MACRs for aircraft lost in 1942 and early 1943 is that the MACR system did not start until July 1, 1943. MACRs for losses before that date were prepared from the information on hand after that date. If a squadron or group had changed bases more than once (before July 1, 1943) how much of their documentation was dragged along to the new base?
Enjoy!
Frank.
