著名二戰名言
"All that silly talk about the advance of science and such leaves me cold. Give me peace and a retarded science."Thomas Dodd, late 1945

This report includes many important blank spaces and one glaring mistake. The aircraft serial number is not listed (important) and the aircraft type is mistakenly listed as a B-17 (the aircraft was a B-24). This MACR report form itself was not even put into service until April 1946. It is clear that this report was created post-war to fill a gap discovered in the records. As such, it is expected that the report will be sketchy at best.
