About this Document
In May 1943, the Army Air Forces recommended the adoption of a special form, the Missing Air Crew Report (MACR), devised to record relevant facts of the last known circumstances regarding missing air crews, providing a means of integrating current data with information obtained later from other sources in an effort to conclusively determine the fate of the missing personnel. MACRs are arranged by year and aircraft serial number, which is also known as the tail number.

The correct serial number IS 42-5171 with Fred Gillogly as the pilot and IS MACR 15524. TN 42-29658 is reflected correctly on MACR 15446, image # 29434228 with Kemp as the pilot. Both aircraft were assigned to the 306BG and both MIA on 17-Apr-43, but 42-5171 was in Squadron 368 and 42-29658 was in Squadron 367. The annotation on this MACR was apparently made on 6-Nov-47, long after the event, and that may be the reason for the error the confusion.
