MISSING AIRCREW REPORTS

Every time that an aircraft went down behind enemy lines as a result of enemy action or mechanical failure, official reports were created known as missing aircrew reports or MACRs. Many of these reports were completed after the conclusion of the war as interviews were conducted following the return of prisoners of war who may have witnessed and/or were the topic of the MACR.

MACRs
