Re: MACR question

Alex,

LB-30 AL589 is actually MACR 800, which I have found on Fold3. It is concerned with the disappearance of MajGen Tinker.

MACR 600 I have not been able to locate on Fold3, probably because they used the aircraft serial as the index in their database, and since the serial is apparently not given in the MACR, 600 is off somewhere in Fold3's never-never land. I haven't checked the NARA catalog for it, but at this point I think NARA is just copying what they found on Fold3. NARA will not allow researchers to pull the MACRs any more, for any reason, so we have to wait until they decide to fill in the holes themselves by copying the originals. There are a number of missing MACRs on Fold3.

There are also a number of the early MACRs for which the number was duplicated. In these cases they used letters A, B and C to distinguish. Such as 45A, 45B and 45C.

Enjoy!

Frank.
