8th Air Force Mission Folders

(Work in Progress…)

IMPORTANT NOTE - Some of these documents may be badly faded. Due to time restraints I simply cannot spend the time attempting to change the contrast or darkness levels to make them more visible. However as all these PDFs are downloadable for free, you can use tools or programs online to correct this. There are PDF editing programs, or programs where you can convert the pages on the PDFs into JPEGs or PNGs or whatever and colour correct them.
