§ Biography
S/Sgt Donald A. McArthur was a gunner aboard B-24J 42-109618. He was reported MIA on 4 November 1944 and annotated K/A on the MACR cover sheet.
His identification tag does not appear among those transmitted in the German documents, suggesting his body was not recovered from the crash site at Voslapp. German records note the crew not otherwise accounted for were drowned.
