Good evening Nick and kaki !

Those "missing" MRCR's do exist and are available. They are mostly in the MACR's number-blocks 15.000 to 16.000 etc. Those reports cover mostly events in Asia in a very late stage of WW 2 or postwar.

In Europe, which came later after the event to report, they were mostly compiled by misunderstandings of the missing a/c and the regular unit errors.

A very good example is the missing of a B-26 (44-67881) on 23. December 1944, which was assigned to 1st (prov) PFF and was shot down by German fighters in my area in Germany.

The MACR of this event is # 15984.

Best wishes !
