| Thanks for the info on the CD's. No he is not on that crew. He is in the crew in the NARA crew photo's #65427a. He is the last row wearing the A-2 jacket. I have my dad's copy of that photo but don't know what crew. I contacted the middle back row mechanic but he didn't remember much about anyone. The guy on the other end from my dad I was told by some ones else walked into a running prop. Any information about those in the photo would be a great help.<br/>

| I checked on the CD's last February.  I was told &quot;At the present time we can only provide material on microfilm. Would you like a microfilm quote?&quot;  The quote was $30 each.  My contact was - Mrs Lynn Gamma, HQ AFHRA/RSA, 600 Chennault Circle, Maxwell AFB, AL 36112, 334-953-2395, email address - Lynn.Gamma@MAXWELL.AF.MIL  <br/>

| My reply is current.  This is a recent change in status of the CD's.<br/> <br/> Don<br/>

| FYI before you buy (CDs or) microfilm:<br/> - - The microfilm is 16mm and in 4-inch rolls (as in old 16mm black-and-white film).  <br/> - - They need a 16mm microfilm reader to view them (so are at-best inconvenient to use, presuming your local library even has readers for 16mm); and<br/> - - Viewing microfilm is one-frame-at-a-time.<br/> CDs are probably worth waiting for - much easier to 'search' and brouse through, and probably easier to print from, too.<br/>  <br/> If you can wait, CDs are much more convenient to have and use.<br/> <br/> Are you looking for something specific?<br/> <br/> Win Bryson<br/>

| Have I not made it clear that the CD's are available NOW....... leave the confusion in the Past.<br/> <br/> Message Follows:<br/> <br/> Sir,<br/> I responded to you back in February.  As of  two weeks ago we made the<br/> following announcement on our web page:<br/> <br/> The Air Force Historical Research Agency is proud to announce that some<br/> of the Agency's holdings are now available for purchase on CDs. The cost<br/> of each CD is $30. Please send an e-mail to afhranews@maxwell.af.mil or<br/> submit the Contact Us form for a quote.<br/> <br/> Yes, one CD equals one roll of microfilm.  If, for some reason, that a<br/> single CD cannot contain the complete microfilm roll, a second CD will<br/> be sent, free of charge.<br/> <br/> The index rolls are not in an electronic format, but I assure you that<br/> my description on the microfilm worksheet is accurate for the CD also.<br/> Sincerely, <br/> <br/> BARRY L. SPINK<br/> Archivist<br/> Air Force Historical Research Agency<br/> 600 Chennault Circle, Bldg 1405<br/> Maxwell AFB, AL  36112-6424<br/> barry.spink@maxwell.af.mil<br/> <br/> <br/> Don<br/>

| I am interested in actual crew list for each mission. My father flew as an engineer/top turret but not on a specfic crew. He was in the 612. He filled in for someone who could not make it that mission. I am told the micro fil/Cd's has this information.<br/>

| That is correct the loading lists for the 612th Bomb Squadron are available. This in fact is what I am tring to get rectify that same problem.  I will be submitting a proposal at the reunion in August for a fund raister so we can get additional information.  This however will come from the National Archives in DC.  Are you a member of the Group? Or you should consider beeing part of our Group<br/> <br/> Don<br/>

| Hi:<br/> <br/> FYI, the 401st Association recently confirmed there are more than one 'Loading List' versions (for most Missions):<br/> - - The 'static' version on AFHRA microfilm (and CDs) that the 401st Website Mission information probab;y was based upon, originally; and<br/> - - The 'official' 401st Mission Reports' 'Loading Lists' on-file at the National Archives for each Mission (although Reports for some Missions are missing).  <br/> <br/> These 'Loading Lists' at the National Archives have updated and revised information - some in pencil over-marks - and are likely the most accurate aircraft and crew information that's ever going to be available anywhere, and the 401st has begun a long-term project to obtain National Archives 'Mission Report' copies to enhance the completeness and accuracy of the Website's present Mission information. Some Missions on the Website have been updated as a trial, but the long, slow, and costly effort to update all Website Missions is what the Historian's proposal is about - to 'make that happen'.<br/> <br/> Regardless, good hunting in the meantime.<br/> <br/> Win<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/>
