You may want to check with the following website, excerpts listed here:


"The details of US military airplane accidents and combat losses were most often kept secret due to national ecurity. Soldiers involved in such incidents were not permitted to write home with details, and in cases where soldiers died, only the basic facts were provided to
grieving families.

The reports on these incidents have now been declassified and are at last available to tell the whole story. You can now learn the details of the disappearance, capture or death of military family members, or even learn of airplane accidents that were never discussed.

IRWIN K MCWILLIAMS is listed in the index.

I do not know the costs for any reports or if there are other avenues of obtaining the information but hope this may help you or others with a similar situation.
