Archive Main Index

Who Did All This? The majority (95%), were scanned in by me on trips to the Naval Historical Center in the Washington DC Navy Yard, the Historical Section of the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio, and at Archives II in College Park, Maryland.

Those that were not scanned by me, but given to me as gifts have that person's name in Parenthesis; such as (Tommy) for Tommy Thomason, and (Yip) for W. Yip.

Discolored Streaks on some Scans: This unfortunately, was caused by me not properly cleaning my new scanner; and me contaminating the calibration plate with Windex. After getting my scanner replaced under warranty, the problem went away.

Obtaining a Physical (DVD) Copy of the Archive: If you really do want them all in a easy package, contact me via private message on my forum, with your address, and I'll mail out the DVD.

I repeat, send me your address in your PM; or how else am I supposed to mail them out?!?

I shall repeat again:
