So, for example, if one runs into the name Bauer, Hoffmann and Mueller in other than personnel records, and there is no first name accompanying it, it is very difficult to match it to one of the officers by that name that we already have in our Lw.OCS. We are constantly on the watch for this, and when we find a duplicate or other problem we are sure of we delete it. The more entries we have for each name, the less of a problem this becomes.

Wildcats or Martlets [/b]??? I do not remember Beaufighters with the FAA, rather with Coastal Command, but I must be wrong...am not familiar...maybe some experts on FAA can correct me....
