SOURCES of INFORMATION for WWII Air Corp members

          Note: These sources have been collected from  various Bomb Group publications and reunion notices.
         They are primarily 15th Air Force that served in Italy, however there is an 8th Air Force reference. When possible I have listed the name, address, phone number and e-mail address of the  Group Historian or Newsletter editor.
        However, if I could not determine one of those I have listed a contact for the organization who can help and advise.  My intent is to be able to attach this information to Internet inquires received from people searching for a WWII  relative or friend.
        Updates and information corrections will be appreciated. Send to the website info link (use "contact" link below). 

Remember all email addresses on this site are shown with "(at)" instead of the "@" symbol so you will need to copy them and replace with the symbol to use email - sorry for the inconvenience but this is the only way to stop the spam.

        If you are looking for information on obtaining personnel records or medals, see the Records page.
