With your permission I can post this inquiry to a discussion list for
map librarians (which I moderate).

cold case unit in our state attorney general's office.  That unit is
working to bring closure to a disappearance [likely murder] of a person
from a farm in South Dakota circa. 1941 or 1942.  This was a case that
was never solved.

missions in which aerial photographs were taken of the entire United
States in a grid map format [as I'm reconstructing my notes from a phone
conversation with him this morning].  My faculty member is of the
understanding that these aerial photography flights ended in 1943.  We
need to get ahold of those aerial photographs from that year for grid
numbers 475 and 452 here in South Dakota.  Do any of you in govdoc-l
land know where or who to begin to go to for getting ahold of these
photographs?   Is this something that the National Archives would have?
Somebody also told me that it might be available through the National
Air and Space Museum.
