WWII Research
« Thread Started on Sept 11, 2009, 6:16am »
After my Father passed in 2003 I researched what he did as a pilot and lead pilot in the 452d Bombardment Group (H). Since then I have continued to research Bombardiers from the 452d BG.



Question: Were any Family members assigned to the 452d BG during WWII?

Recommend the following sites for obtaining additional information:



Army Air Forces of WWII has an excellent Research Help section and Forums where you can ask questions concerning Air Force units your Father served in:



http://www.armyairfo­rces.com/ResearchHelp­/tabid/99/Default.asp­x Covers how to request your Father's records, to include awards and decorations from WWII.

http://forum.armyair­forces.com/

Many Groups have associations that you can join. I belong to the 452d BG Association and receive a quarterly news letter. The newsletter contains stories and pictures from the unit during WWII.



The National Achieves contains information on Enlistment and POW records from WWII: http://aad.archives.­gov/aad/



For unit historical records see the Air Force Historical Research Agency: http://www.afhra.af.­mil/
