Major if you want any of them just let me know because I could easily download them and burn them to a DVD or multiple CD's and mail them to you.

I greatly appreciate your offer, JJB, but I was one of the ten bombardiers selected to participate in the Crossroads Project.

To avoid confusion about what is and is not still classified information, I think it best not to view the films at this time. This way, I need neither confirm nor deny any information in the films, even though it may have been publicly released.

He was right to do so. It could have been needed.

If the shelter is still in existance , save me a bunk! :(
