1/Lt Francis S Love (P-38 42-12848)

Post by Daniel Leahy »

Hi All,

In an effort to revamp the MIA and Recovery database, I've come across details for P-38 42-12848:
http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/p ... 12848.html

The ABMC website states that 1/Lt Love is still listed as "Missing in Action or Buried at Sea" on the "Tablets of the Missing at Manila American Cemetery".

Yet, on the exact same page, it also makes mention of "Awards: Air Medal, Purple Heart - Remains recovered".

According to the information I have, it appears as if the successful recovery of 1/Lt Love took place in 1999. I was wondering if there is any reason why he is listed as missing, yet also "Remains Recovered".
