Hi,


This is the reply I received from Nara :


Thank you for your inquiry to the National Archives and Records Administration concerning your interest in copies of records from the series Lists of Downed Allied Aircrews, 1954 - 1958 in Record Group 242, Entry A1 1067.

If you are interested in ordering all of the files in this series consists of 33 files totaling approximately 3000 pages.

With requests this large, our policy is to process files in batches of three. Each batch takes approximately 30-60 days to process. We will work on the next batch after payment and delivery of copies/scans has been made for the prior batch. Considering the number of case files of interest, to process your complete order will take approximately 10 to 20 months.

Our reproduction fee for paper or digital copies is $0.80 per page with a minimum mail order fee of $20.00. For the entire series, the fee will total approximately $2400. This is an estimate. The final cost will be determined upon reproduction.

Please let me know if you would like to proceed with this order. If you plan to order all of the files in the series, we will begin by providing you a quote for the first three files in the series, unless you specify certain files you would like to receive first.

A more expedient option is to hire a researcher who can make copies for you. A list of researchers familiar with our holdings and processes can be found on our website: https://www.archives.gov/research/hire-help/locations.html

Alternatively, if there are specific files you are interested in, please let us know the files you want to request and we can provide you with an estimate for just those files. A file list for this series is available in the catalog: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7329975.

I've also attached scans of the first two pages from the file J25A to J300A as you requested.

We hope that this assists you with your research.

So slightly over my budget …


Best regards


Luc
