Booted up my 16-yr-old high school laptop to open a WWII database that lives on a CD, works only on Windows 98, & exists no where else. The creator is dead. Need help to save the data from technological oblivion. At stake are stories of 5k airmen who fought Hitler from sky. (1/4) Image The background: OG database used to live online. In 2019, I scraped 1 million data points & built a new, more modern version. I got most of the data, but not all. This year, the OG online database was taken down. Now a CD is only way to get OG data. (2/4)
