| MACR 9757, 10-7-44 about the loss of the 1st.Lt. A.J. Nelson Crew and 'IN-C' on the Politz Mission, has abbreviations after each Crewmen's name listed, in the 'status' column. <br/> - - the 'KIA'  designation is obvious; but<br/> - - the 'DED' abbreviation is not - anyone know what that designation is?<br/> (FYI, 6-Crewmen were listed 'KIA' and 3-Crewmen listed 'DED', and in some copies, the 'status' is handwritten and in others typewriten). <br/><br/><br/>

| Phoenix: If you E-mail me at [mailto:win-z@comcast.net|win-z@comcast.net], I can send a lo-res scan of a MACR facesheet (top sheet / form). As 'Swinny' notes, there may be any number of pages included in a complete report, depending upon circumstances, but the facesheet gives you the general 'picture'. <br/><br/><br/>
