Class Books and Photos

This page lists all of the classbooks or photos that I can access.  Some are owned by me and others are available through the generosity of fellow researchers. 

Why do I make these available?
Only a limited number of books or photos were made.  Usually one per cadet and some extras for the school.  These books or photos are disappearing and I am afraid they may be lost forever.  My only goal is to be an electronic repository for these items. 

Myself and the other researchers do NOT charge for the copies.  We make them free to all vets and their families.  Donations to cover costs are accepted but NOT necessary or looked for.  This is our way of thanking the vets for what they did.  They already paid a price, sometimes a very high price.

 

  How do I get a copy of an item?
Go to the Contact Us page and send an email to the address provided.  Clicking on the Contact Web Owner in the Location column will do the same.

In the email provide the following:
  • School (Deming, Kirtland, etc.)
  • Class number
  • Bombardier's name

What will I receive?
That depends on the item requested:

  • Photos found in Crosshairs issues: you will get a scanned copy of the page/pages from a higher resolution print than what is on the site.
  • Book on CD: you will get a CD copy of the entire class book.  There is no charge, but a couple of bucks donation to cover costs is appreciated but NOT necessary.
  • Book: for books not in my possession or on CD, the owner will scan the page or the individuals photo being requested.
 
How long does it take?
For items that I own, a few days.  For the others, it depends on the time availability of the owner.  Generally, a week or two.  But if you have not heard from me in a month, send me an email.
     
  How can I help?
Great question!!  I am glad you asked.

If you are in possession of a class book or photo, I would love to get a scanned copy of anything I am missing or can improve upon.  For instance, the Crosshairs photos are not that good.  Working from an original would be terrific.

If you can do your own scanning then do so at 600dpi, grayscale to a JPG file format.  Single scans can be sent directly to my email address.  CD's can be shipped.  Just contact my email address and ask for my home address.

If you do not scan or can't, I can do the scan for you.  That includes books.  I have done this for a few people.  I understand that it is asking a lot to trust a total stranger, but believe me I take extreme care of the book/photo.  Generally, once I receive a book/photo, I scan it right away and send it back.  I pay the return shipping costs.  If you are willing to do this, then contact me via email and we can make the arrangements.
