Missing Air Crew Reports
There's an abbreviation in these reports that I'm having a mental block over.
KIA, MIA etc. I get. RTD I guess is "returned." But what's "EUS" ?

Re: Missing Air Crew Reports
Hello Frank:
The correct abbreviation is: nmi It was used, in my experience, to show the individual had no middle name. Back in WW 2, the majority of men had a middle name so this was an attempt to assist in identification. One man's name in our tent was Philip (nmi) Kidder as it appeared in official records. Cordially, Art Fiedler

Re: Missing Air Crew Reports
You will also find John Q (io) Doe, indicating "initial only". And even occasionally J Q (io) Doe.
Frank.
