Trying to track down an MACR or any other info...

on the following pilot:

Capt. Marvin Earl Lancaster, aka "Horace" aka "Lank"
A.S.No: O-421934 64th FS, 57th FG. stationed in Egypt. KIA 2 Nov, 1942 presumably on return leg of long-range sweep. Shot down behind enemy lines, which might put him into Libya, but I doubt it. Home state = N.C.

I have a listing of 13 Luftwaffe claims including approximate times and locations, and I'm hoping that the MACR would have similar information regarding time and location (at least some sort of guess). Plus, if anyone has any idea where in Egypt the 57th was stationed in 11/42, that might be a help too...

Thanks in advance!
