The Search mission
Below are scans of the Search Mission which was carried out after the time of loss for the Pistol Pakin Mamma. This is another bit of information I obtained from the MACR. I don't believe there can be any blame cast upon anyone for lack of trying in this situation. It appears all was done that could be in the era prior to satellites and helicopter rescues. Sorry for the poor quality of these copies; I've tried to clarify and improve the quality of them.
