Missing Air Crew Reports Index
1941-1942
This list of Missing
Air Crew Reports was compiled mostly from an index created by the Army
Air Forces in late 1945.
The 1945 index provides the country or region of where an aircraft was
observed to have been lost or where an aircraft
was thought to have been lost. We have begun to review the individual
reports and update the locations and other data,
but it is still far from complete. The locations on the individual reports
are most often vague, incomplete or outright wrong.
It must be remembered that in most cases there were no friendy witnesses
on the ground and that the location is a often
a guess bases on available information. There is no doubt that many
locations are incorrect and can not be corrected
without significant
research in the actual area of the crash. We invite anyone with corrections
to contact us.
