Military abbreviations related to a veteran killed in World War II.

Question of Day

Question: I am curious about the World War II report I am reading about my uncle who was died in Europe in the Army Air Corps. This declassified report make reference to “LIA” and “DOW”. I have heard of Killed in Action (KIA), and Prisoner of War (POW) but was wondering if you could assist me in the other terms.
