Silver Wings: The US Army Air Forces in WWII Norfolk

Commemorating 80 years since the end of World War II, Silver Wings is a brand new project from the American Library in partnership with the Forum Trust, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Silver Wings will uncover and preserve the incredible, untold stories of the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) stationed in Norfolk and the British civilians who shared this remarkable chapter of history. The project will feature a free, 10 day exhibition and event series at The Forum, alongside a lead up participatory programme for schools, young people, and the wider community.

The events programme including archive inspired creative writing, research workshops and oral history training will start soon. Follow us on Eventbrite for updates.
