Re: NARA Seattle

Andreas, I will send you a PM about the ordering procedure.

Remi, thanks for your offer but money is not my problem. See the present $ versus € rate. Time is my main problem the next two, three months. We are finallizing our publication about the history of the Dutch airfields during WWII. It has to go to the printer in March 2009.
An other problem is my HP Scanjet 3800 scanner. I have used it for scanning microfilms for the first time but I am not quit happy with the results sofar. As you can see. I am learning but will also have a look for a professional reader/scanner/printer in our local Hist. Centre.
I had the idea of digitizing the film and put it on a DVD. NARA has this roll only on film.

The reason why now is simple. I was triggered two months ago by some remarks in this thread and recognized the OKL/123 way of coding. Next step was looking at NARA for a guide with OKL information. In doing so I have found more interesting guides and information(rolls) e.g. for my research for Dutchmen serving in the Luftwaffe. For our project about a/c losses in the Netherlands I have given priority to roll 112 of the T 321 guide. I ordered the roll at November 3rd and have just received it. The first results are interesting enough for letting you folks know.

Jaap
