The Complete History of the 38th Bomb Group - South Pacific
« on: December 15, 2013, 01:23:41 PM »
There may be a number of pictures in these materials you haven't ever seen.  After action reports, etc.  Very cool original documents on B-25s and their missions from 1942-45 in the South Pacific.  You can read the history of the 38th alone or you may choose the 4 squadrons that composed the 38th and read only their individual histories.  These are the histories as written by the men who flew the planes, their photos, their words.  Very cool stuff.

Enjoy

Thanks Changeup, it's a shame that the unit history will probably never get published but I"m happy to see that at least the families can get their hands on something.

I know.  What they've agreed to do is provide books to the family members now.  Softback, Mk0-Mod1.  12 bucks for the families.
