BTW, I got your book in the other day, and it's fantastic!  I love the tons of pics + detailed caption format - my favorite.

Thanks, Wade.
BTW I have about 10+ 4th FG pics that I will send you from the nara database.. you may already have them but I will send anyway
the J report is the LW crash detail report that the USAAF collected, when found, and attached to Macr immediately post WWII. often useful for those groups that didn't keep detail tower logs - as the J report will frequently have some clue to the squadron code and serial no. unless completely destroyed.
Also have exact crash site and burial info.

Bill
PS - is there a Direct way you access the USAF photo collection, other than slipping into it from a search, say, on Hofer?
When I got in that way I found the 800+ photo/800 typed explanation of image but havene't found a way to get to all of them
