In 1945, the British Air Ministry established the Royal Air Force (RAF) Missing Research and Enquiry Service, to trace all of the RAF's wartime overseas casualties. Although a broad range of search techniques were used to find the resting places of personnel who were either known to have been killed or listed as missing, positive identification remained largely contingent upon an exhumation of their remains. This paper explores the forensic pathology and forensics techniques known to and used by the Search Officers involved.
1945 年，英国空军部成立了皇家空军（RAF）失踪人员研究和查询处，以追踪所有在海外作战的 RAF 战时伤亡人员。尽管使用了广泛的搜索技术来寻找已知或列为失踪的人员的安息之地，但确认身份在很大程度上仍然取决于对其遗体的挖掘。本文探讨了参与搜索的官员所了解和使用的法医病理学和法医学技术。
