In May 1943, the Army Air Forces recommended the adoption of a special form, the Missing Air Crew Report (MACR), devised to record relevant facts of the last known circumstances regarding missing air crews, providing a means of integrating current data with information obtained later from other sources in an effort to conclusively determine the fate of the missing personnel.

Harold Brown served his country in World War II with the 332nd Fighter Group 99th Squadron. In 1942 he was assigned to the Fifteenth Air Force with the 99th Fighter Squadron as a replacement pilot during November 1944. He was shot down on 14 March 1945. He was liberated after the German surrender and discharged in October 1945.
