War Department
US Army Air Forces
SPECIAL ORDERS

NAMES BEGINNING WITH N

Special Orders were created for every personnel action of the War Department. (US Army and US Army Air Forces). Unfortunately, most of the day to day actions were done at an organizational level and those records were only maintained for a short time. However, transfers between corps of the Army, officer appointments, officer promotions, special training, retirements, and other special assignments were done by the War Department. These records were placed in bound volumes and kept in military libraries until later discarded. We have found a number of these that include sets of the years: 1917, 1918 (Nov-Dec), 1921, 1924, 1926, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1938 (Jun-Dec), 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1945, and 1946 (Jan-Jun). These volumes clearly contain some of the information lost in the tragic 1973 fire in the Defense Personnel Records Center.

We have indexed a few thousand of the Air Service, Army Air Corps, Army Air Forces names, but it will be a long time before they are all indexed. We will continue to add more as time permits. Please contact us for additional details.
