The U.S. Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office has compiled a database of service members still unaccounted for following World War II. The database contains more than 70,000 names and was derived from records from the National Archives and the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command. You can access the database online here:
Service Personnel Not Recovered Following World War II (MIA)
Names will be removed from the database as remains are recovered and identified.
