The armyairforces.com MACR Data Base has two numbers for B-24 #44-50389, lost on 6/28/45. belonging to the 7th Bomb Group, the numbers are 14732 & 14758. Could someone give me the correct MACR Number. MACR Number 14758 is also listed for B-24, #44-40680, lost on 7/28/45, belonging to the 866th Bomb Squadron, 494th Bomb Group. The pilot for the plane #44-40680 was 2nd Lt. Thomas C. Cartwright. Thank You: John

John,
I show the MACR to be 14758. However I cannot verify this. I can provide you with the following information if it will help. 44-50389 was in the 493rd Bomb Squadron and it went MIA on the return from a bombing mission to Ban Takli, Siam. It is believed that the plane crashed in the Bay of Bengal and the date I have is 29 Jun 45. The pilot was 2nd Lt Wesley Sommers. I have other crew member names if you need them.
