Robert Reynolds, 354th FG, MACR 9178

[Frank Olynyk]

Robert Reynolds, an ace of the 354th FG was shot down and captured on September 12, 1944. I have a copy of the MACR 9178, but it has none of the German KU/J/etc reports. I am trying to find the date and place of birth of Reynolds, to determine if this is the same individual who died in 1977 in Orlando, Florida. The only information I have, from the NARA copy of his enlistment record, is that he was born in 1924, as was the deceased (who also served in the Air Force). I believe they are the same person, but I have no hard evidence, just a set of coincidences.

Does anyone know when Reynolds was born or died? Does anyone have the KU/J/etc reports for him, or know the references in NARA? I plan a return visit in late October, and can pull them at that time.

The International Red Cross has not responded to my request for information on him.
