1. Not to be a 'provocatuer' (never was good at spellng) - well, actually yes, to stir things up,
2. Wouldn't it be great, absent availability of Capt. Closeway's actual 'Bluebook' publication originals,
3. That with today's digital photo quality/printing capabilities and small-run options,
4. A 'run' of Bluebook reprints (for sale) could stimulate younger generations' interest in, and knowledge of, the 401BG as well as availing those who cannot find an 'original' the opportunity to have a copy (minus the upolsrered cover, maybe, to save costs) of photos (damn near) the quality of the originals?
5. I'd spring for at least one, and maybe more for family members, especially if it had the Squadron Insignias' page in color (like the original).
6. I'm sure this topic has 'come-up' often - and it's a lot of work. But maybe it's a topic for this year's Reunion, especially to help generate '2nd & 3rd' generation 401st interest.

Hopefully,
