    I do not believe that the NARA have any mission reports, as such, on the 387th.

    They do hold some information, which I believe includes some of the Bombardiers reports, but the main records are still held by AFHRA at Maxwell AFB.

    From my memory there are about 17 microfilm rolls that cover the 387th. I unfortunately suffered a computer crash a short while ago and cannot currently lay my hands on the roll numbers you would need to ask for. A short e-mail to them will uncover this information.

    If I can help you further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    I found the following (and about 4 other groupings with different dates) on the NARA site. The microfilms at Maxwell may be the same information.
