Researching USAAF Personnel

Unit histories

Books for specific bomb and fighter groups vary greatly in the amount of information they contain about servicemen and women.

Almost all of them concentrate on commanding officers and flight crews.

There's usually little or no information about the ground crews who served with that unit.

Unit Histories are available to borrow from the library with a Norfolk Libraries borrower card. There are also reference copies that can be read in the library. The best way to search for these on the catalogue is to search by Bomb or Fighter Group number. For example, to find unit histories of the 389th Bomb Group, type 389th into the search box.
