I will send you a email on NARA. I went there a couple of years ago and what a facility!!! It is great doing research there but I advise that when you visit, you let them know in advance what you going to need, as you might end up waiting quite a while. I have a contact in NARA that is very usefull. It is possible to have the documents you need sent to you (on photocopy or microfiche).
My original plan was to go to NARA, but that will not be possible in the near future, but several friends that I met through my research told me they sent away for their requested folders. So that is also going to be my plan of action.
One gentleman just got a quote from them on his requested engineer's unit. They had 9 folders of printed material and it was going to run approximately $260.00.
I plan to contact them soon. I am trying to save up money to cover the costs. I know there is quite a bit of material on the 540th.
