Subject: Re: Matador Photos

To: TAC Missileers
For the last 10+ years, I have been attempting to obtain a photo/picture of all the Missiles/Rockets launched from the Cape Canaveral SFS/KSC and Vandenberg SFB. Everything will go to the Air Force/Space Force when I am finished. They do not have a collection like this. I am missing about 400 from the Cape and most of them are Matadors (about 250). It is hard to find Matador photos from the 1950s/1960s. I have about 30 Matador pictures with no date or serial numbers which I cannot add to my Notebooks.
I was hoping you might send the list of missing Mace & Matador out to you group to see if anybody might have any of the pictures. I NEED the date or serial number of the Matador to cross them off my missing list.
Currently, I have 76 4-inch Notebooks on the Cape/KSC, Vandenberg and on Space & Missile programs.
Any help would be appreciated. A scan copy of the photo would be great. I do not need a hard copy. They can email me directly at the above email.
Thanks, hope to see you all and tour you all at the next TAC reunion at the Cape.
Take care,
