Re: 1st Air Commando Group - April 1944 - Burma -gliders
Just a quick comment: "death dates" on the ABMC database are administrative ones, especially for missing men. Many people are so registered in the database at dates long after they went missing. For Navy, it is usually one year and one day after they went MIA. For USAAF, many of the missing airmen that were never found saw their file closed in 1946 or 1947 and are registered on the date of the "finding of death" statement rather than the date they went missing, but there is no rule. Most of PTO and China/Burma airmen are in this case, while it is rare for ETO and MTO ones that will be registered usually on the date they went missing.
