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

Re: MACR 8899 crew details

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
