Each Missing Air Crew Report was created within five days of the aircraft being reported as missing. The file remained open throughout the period of conflict, and as additional information became available, it was added to the report. The MACR for the Union Pacific B-17 was identified by searching for the aircraft commander, in this case Captain Robert B. Short. The report included all of the same dates and names as the 1945 Bulletin article, including the serial number of the B-17 itself, 42-30826.
With the serial number in hand, a search of the various on-line databases of B-17 aircraft revealed that 42-30826 was named "Short Stuff", which makes sense because of the aircraft commander's name. There is no reference to its other Union Pacific name.
By the time the Missing Air Crew Report for aircraft 42-30826 was closed on June 14, 1946, it held such details as the injuries of each crew member, a report from German sources of the crew members captured, and the aircraft's crash location, as well as a report of the German Bf-109 fighter pilot who claimed to have shot the aircraft down. Included in MACR-863 was specific details such as the serial numbers of the four engines and serial numbers of the eight .50 caliber heavy machine guns, along with statements by Captain Short and each of the crew members about themselves and the condition of other crew members they may have seen.
The jump in time to "Ride the River" unfortunately shows us how much this series suffered from Louis' death. This story is set in the 1830s and concerns young Echo Sackett and her troubles claiming an inheritance in Philadelphia and along her way home. Louis had originally intended to write another seven or eight Sackett stories. One was to have covered the Revolutionary War period, there was to have been a Mountain Man novel about Tell and Orrin's father, a story about Tell's experiences in the Civil War, and several others. Luckily, the stories were not written as an ongoing "serial" and so each can be enjoyed for it's own sake. In addition, Sackett characters appear momentarily in other L'Amour novels and there are two Tell Sackett short stories available.

On the corners of each registration card are stamped or written a series of numbers; on the left is the serial number that was assigned as soon as they registered. It could also be the number that the registrant was in line the day the cards were filled out. After each registration was complete at the local boards, the headquarters of the Selective Service in Washington DC placed each of the serial numbers into a container.
The first number drawn was No. 258 for which every person who registered was given an order number of 1. This was repeated until each serial number has an order number. The image below shows the order of the numbers drawn from the 1st Registration as was published in the Pittsburgh Post on July 21, 1917.
