I'll try to find the stuff on-line, but I was mostly working out of articles that referenced to the existing military records and to interviews.
http://users.cis.net/coldfeet/document.htm covers many of the documents from Bush's NG career, with photos of the actual documents.

Why isn’t that ever an issue of politics? Because you don’t live in a democracy. You live in a plutocracy. Money rules.
Yeah, the original records were destroyed in an "inadvertent oversight."
Nice job, Snowman! You dodge the bullet again. Jackass.
