To get copies of MACRs, write to the Air Force History Support Office, HQ USAF/HO, Reference and Analysis Division, 500 Duncan Ave Box 94, Bolling AFB, Wash D.C. 20332-1111. They would probably need the Date, Crew Pilot's name and Bomb Group.

Thanks for the info, but how can I get a copy of a mission
report. I am looking for C.L Wilsons crew report 401st/614th,
from the 4/13/44 mission. I want to find out what Aircraft
they were flying on this day. Also my Dad was WIA on this mission.

Thanks,Dale

I believe this thread already has the specific info you're looking for, but for your(and others') general info:

- 401BG Mission Reports: The original files are in the National Archives II, College Park, Md. (North of Wash. D.C.).

- Other 401BG records: There are originals at HQ AFHRA/RSQ, Maxwell AFB, Alabama. This location also has (available for sale) several microfilm reels containing 401BG info.
