| Am interested in finding photos of various missions especially the few I flew. I also use the pictures in my presentations to students from middle school to university.  Would prefer 8 X 10 but can enlarge if needed. Thanks for your help<br/>

| I've been looking for 401BG photos for quite some-time now, also.  Sources to-date, include:<br/> <br/> 1. The National Archives & Records Administration, Still Pictures Branch, 8601 Adelphi Rd., College Park, Md., 20740-6001, has some 401BG mission and mission related (formations, briefings, operations, control tower) black & white photos.<br/> <br/> 2. There's a &quot;Flak over Politz&quot; photo on a 401BG calendar several years ago: that has appeared in several publications, including the 401BG &quot;Bluebook&quot;; that has been attributed to several missions, and has no known &quot;source&quot; - but is &quot;frighteningly&quot; telling; and<br/> <br/> 3. I have photos (that I took at the NARA II) of the 10-7-44 Politz Mission Report's file strike photos (mosaics of several photos with grease-pencil markings, of the lead, high and low squadrons of &quot;C&quot;-box that day).<br/> <br/> If you're interested, I could send you some xeroxes of these (E-mail me your mailing address) to help you see if any of these may be of interest for your presentations - and then go from there.<br/> <br/> [As a side-note, I visited the NARA-II many years ago and looked through their laser-discs of photos (looking for 401BG photos).  It took all-day and I made list with notes so that I could later order photos from them.  I would be glad to E-mail this list to you, but keep in-mind, it's not complete, descriptions are in &quot;my words&quot;, and there may be other photos added since that I don't list - but maybe it'll help you save &quot;looking&quot; time.<br/> <br/> I don't know the NARA II's present &quot;drill&quot; for purchasing still photos, but contacting them (or via their web-site) should answer that for you.<br/> <br/> Regardless, good hunting.  By the way, what Squadron were you in and what Missions were you on.<br/> <br/> Win <br/> <br/>  <br/>    <br/> <br/>

| Tell me what planes you flew and I can tell you if the National Archives has negatives, and where you can get photos made from the negatives.<br/>
