44-6332’s MACR should be 8361 which has the incorrect serial number of 44-6322, a typo by who ever filled the Missing Air Crew Form out. I have a copy of the report with the crew you have listed for this aircraft. Send me an email address and I’ll send you a copy of my file of the plane. Thanks Charles.

Hello Charles
I’m trying to do some bio research on Gunner “Royal Todd” who perished on either Aircraft B-17 #6322 or 6332 . I see your invitation for inquiries.
I’d appreciate a MACR pertaining to the incident. I’ve seen reference to MACR 10645, which does not appear to be the correct report.
I’ve been unable to find MACR 8361 on the websites I normally use for MACReports.
I’m quite interested in obtaining the typical reason for the crash, etc, to include in my bio information as I go to enter it on the Stories Behind the Stars website.
Thanks so much
D. WIlburn
