Missing Air Crew Reports (MACR)

 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 aircraft serial number, which is also known as the tail number.  These reports had to be filed within 48 hours of an aircraft or its occupants being declared either destroyed or missing in action.
