Aviation Archaeological Investigation and Research, AAIR, is your source for U.S. military aircraft accident reports and individual aircraft record (history) cards and aviation archaeology information.

We have over 100,000 accident reports on file. Orders are generally processed in just a few weeks. In addition to our collection of microfilm on accident reports and aircraft record cards, we have expanded our research library to include MACRs.

As a TIGHAR Member AAIR participated in another survey of a historic WWII aircraft.
This time it was a P-38 that emerged from the sand of a beach in Wales.
It is presumed to be P-38F s/n 41-7677 flown by Lt. Robert Elliott
