Photographoc Sources - 11/14/2007 04:00:54 AM
Don't know if this is the right place to post, but.....I wondered if anyone could tell me the best place to go for photos of a particular Bomb Group in the 8th AF?
 
From the research pages, the NARA site seems to be one source.  I haven't looked yet, but is this the best site, and an easy one to search through?  Any tips?
 
Are there any other sites that anyone could suggest?   I would guess that posting on the relevant forum might be one way, but at the moment I am not after specific aircraft, people etc.  For the moment I just wondered about general sources.
 
Any help appreciated!
 
Thanks
