Hi:
FYI, the 401st Association recently confirmed there are more than one 'Loading List' versions (for most Missions):
- - The 'static' version on AFHRA microfilm (and CDs) that the 401st Website Mission information probab;y was based upon, originally; and
- - The 'official' 401st Mission Reports' 'Loading Lists' on-file at the National Archives for each Mission (although Reports for some Missions are missing).
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'.
Regardless, good hunting in the meantime.
Win
