MJC Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) Hi Scottplen, Congratulations on your new acquisition. I was at NARA today and I took the opportunity to pull the Missing Air Crew Report (MACR) for the plane. I had planned to scan it up for you, but the original is in very poor condition. The MACR includes mission and recovery specifics, aircrew information, and in this case, a map. If you want, I can mail it to you. Email me at mjc@westmorelandresearch.org. For the record, the MACR lists the aircraft as model B24-M6. Cheers, Mike Edited July 2, 2010 by Mike Constandy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
