Charles G. McMackin, 26, was accounted for in August 2020, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpaa.mil\/News-Stories\/News-Releases\/PressReleaseArticleView\/Article\/2317559\/airman-accounted-for-from-world-war-ii-mcmackin-c\/\" target=\"_blank\">statement from the Defense POW\/MIA Accounting Agency<\/a>, but the announcement was not made until Wednesday because his family was only recently briefed on the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agency said McMackin was from Boston, but according to news clippings from the time of his death, he was from Revere, just north of Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McMackin was the bombardier on a B-24 Liberator that participated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalww2museum.org\/war\/articles\/over-cauldron-ploesti-american-air-war-romania\" target=\"_blank\">Operation Tidal Wave<\/a> on Aug. 1, 1943, a massive bombing mission against the oil fields and refineries at Ploiesti, Romania, considered crucial to the Nazi war effort, according to the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His plane crashed as a result of enemy anti-aircraft fire, and his remains were not identified following the war. Remains of American personnel that could not be identified were buried in a cemetery in Romania and later moved to a cemetery in Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remains were exhumed in 2017 and sent to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.offutt.af.mil\/\" target=\"_blank\">Offutt Air Force Base<\/a>, Nebraska, for examination and identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McMackin\u2019s remains were identified using dental and anthropological analysis, as well as mitochondrial DNA analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McMackin will be buried April 14 in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army Air Forces Staff Sgt.
