On certain space missions NASA, in partnership with The Planetary Society, has a program where the public can submit their names online, which are then put on a CD and attached to the vehicles being launched on those missions. They have done this for the Opportunity and Spirit Mars Rovers landing craft, a probe that went to a comet and others. Late this year NASA plans to launch a Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which will orbit the moon and take HD photos of its surface. I took the liberty of submitting the 380th BG and all 4 squadron numbers to be included. After you submit a name, you get a certificate of participation. This is that certificate.

Subject: photo book

Dear Sir

I'm an Italian photographer and I'm working on a photo book about the most important warbirds still flying in the world. For this project I visited and flew with several warbirds museum and association. As I want to put on the first page of the each aircraft chapter a WWII B/A photo of the plane, I ask if you can help me to get a good photo of a B 24 of 380 BG in order to be used on the book. Of course I will give right credit to the author's or owner of the photos, that allow me to use it and to publish on the book. I can get the photo by email but what I need that dimension of it will be ok to publish at 10x15 centimeters size. If you want to have a look to my photoworks please visit my website www.aerophoto.it

I look forward to read from you soon. Thanks in advance.
