Just a remark: I searched today a loss occurring on 13 March 1944 (B-25 41-30383 of 22nd BS, 341st BG) and of the six crew, five are registered by ABMC on 13 March 1944 and one on 13 July 1944.

So I wonder if ABMC was not using some kind of character recognition of files that will sometimes decypher a 7 in place of a 3.
