USAAF personnel records to be destroyed

Attention aviation researchers. I thought you will find the enclosed information to be of interest.

Norman Malayney

The National Personnel Records Center that is responsible for maintaining
archives of our military records is automating their storage and management.
When this is complete they plan to destroy the hard copies of the records
unless requested by the veteran or a deceased
veteran's family to send those records to them.
If a veteran or members of the deceased veteran's family wants to request
those records be sent to them instead of being destroyed he/she can make a
request by mail to:
National Personnel Records Center
Military Personnel Records
9700 Page Ave.
St. Louis, MO 63132-5100
OR :
make the request online at:
http://vetrecs.archives.gov/> http://vetrecs.archives.gov/
When you submit your request online, a signature form downloadable from the
site can be completed and sent for submission.
The National Personnel Records Center will then send you an e-mail
acknowledging your request

Gentlemen,

I checked with the Federal Records Center web site and they state it is a FALSE RUMOR that they intend to destroy veterans' records after automation. They have no intention of destroying anything.

May I apologize for posting the previous FALSE information on this web site. I should have checked the Federal Records Center web site first before posting the previous e-mail.

Yours very humbly,
Norman Malayney
