MACR 8899 crew details
 

In regard to the MACR 8899 available on line it is to me illegible.
Does anyone have a readable copy ?
Reason is that I am seeking the Service numbers of the following fIve
crew members.

NARA just gives their enlistment details as far as I can find.

2Lt. Larry G. MESSINGER.
2Lt. Thomas F. MARINEAU.
2Lt. Melvin Christian HALSTEAD.
Sgt. Grant M. POWERS.
Sgt. Theodore E. GOITEIN.

Many thanks
Alex

Alex, an interesting problem. The copy of the MACR on line at the National Archives is the same unreadable version as on fold3. I can only find a record for:

Grant M Powers 33207270

I can't find the officer numbers for the 3 Lts nor anything for Goitein.

Is Messinger the man involved in the Palomares H-Bomb incident?

Hello Rolland,
Many thanks for the swift reply, I can only think that it must be the same man as it must be 100 to 1 that there were two Larry G Massinger's that flew Bombers in WW2 and post War flew in Bombers again, probability of Korea too ?

Thanks again
Alex
