For all of the papers listed above, two publications are useful. The first is United States Air Force History: A Guide to Documentary Sources (Washington, D.C., 1973) , compiled by Lawrence J. Paszek; full text available online (https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015034716574). The other is Personal Files in the US Air Force Historical Collection (Albert F. Simpson Historical Research Center, 1975), pamphlet, 29 pp. According to Mr. James Eastman, Chief of the Research Branch, "Spread throughout our collection is material concerning the transfer, delivery, and supply of lend-lease aircraft to the Russians in World War II. Also data are included in HQ army air force and various bomb unit records and periodic histories on Operation Frantic—the use of Russian bases for shuttle-bombing Germany in 1944." For some possible further leads, the researcher might wish to consult the bibliography in Richard C. Lukas, Eagles East: The Army Air Forces and the Soviet Union, 1941–1945 (Tallahassee: Florida State University Press, 1970). |

Most important is the currently out of print, 135 pp., paperbound Preliminary Survey of the Documents in the Archives of the Russian Orthodox Church in Alaska (Boulder, Colorado: Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, 1974) by Barbara Sweetland Smith. Note: Parish records in the archive are on 11 reels of microfilm, available for loan or purchase. Plans are to develop a complete microfilm set of the Russian Orthodox American Messenger from the Alaska Archive, the Library of Congress materials, and holdings at the University of California at Berkeley and elsewhere. A contemplated second edition of the Preliminary Survey would serve as a guide to all of this material also (including a list of Messenger articles on Alaska). Restriction: All original materials are closed to researchers; microfilm available (see above). |
