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
The most difficult abbreviation I found was n.m.l which eventually turned out to mean "no middle initial"
Just because someone has no middle name! Frank |

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.
