Sec. 9842. Settlement of accounts of line officers

    The Comptroller General shall settle the account of a line officer 
of the Air Force for pay due the officer even if the officer cannot 
account for property entrusted to the officer or cannot make a monthly 
report or return, when the Comptroller General is satisfied that the 
inability to account for property or make a report or return was the 
result of the officer having been a prisoner, or of an accident or 
casualty of war.
