When you write for the files, say the magic words: "I request the IDPF under the FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT." If you don't mention the FOIA, you won't get it. Give them the complete name, rank, and if possible, the serial number, bomb group, squadron, date shot down, etc. The above info comes from Henry Sakida Auther & Researcher We look forward to seeing his book due out soon !
