[Milsurplus] [ARC5] RAT(-1) & RAV: Another Viewpoint.

Actually, that material has been cataloged and filed in the library at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA.  Next problem is that NPS is on the BRAC list for closure this year or next, I forget.  My contact there has retired, so I have no idea where the material will go next.  Unfortunately, landfill may be it this time.

Similar disposition was made of all of the WW-II vintage Navy DF set 
holdings at an un-named organization I had an informal connection to.  Sent to 
California for "storage".  I got a brief shot at scanning some of it before it 
had to be shipped out.  I'm pretty sure that the ultimate storage facility 
was a land-fill.
