Since the website has been placed in service in March of 1999 we have had many requests from relatives looking for information on their loved ones who served in WWII. While we have found many resources, we are not able to completely research all of the requests we receive.

In this section of the website, we are going to share with you all of the resources that we are familar with to assist you in your own search.

Searching for a 8th A.A.F. individual ?

If you know that the person you are searching for was with the 8th A.A.F. AND you know the bomb or fighter group number then you can begin your search questions at the ArmyAirForces.com site. IF YOU DON"T KNOW THE PERSON'S GROUP NUMER then check the records at the National Archives’ on-line database at http://aad.archives.gov/aad/

USAAF Forums Provided by ArmyAirForces.com USAAF Fighter/Bomber Group Numbers Click on the Group Number Range [1 to 49]  [50 to 99]  [100 to 199]  [300 to 399]  [400 to 499]  [500 to 599]  [600+]

Looking for a person who served in the 392nd at Wendling?

Because of the extensive amount of data we have collected on the 392nd Bomb Group and have posted on this site, we would suggest that you start with our search engine at the 392nd Research link. This will enable you to search quickly though the all of the 285 missions, MACRs, casuality listings, burials, etc. If there is a match, a list of link(s) will be shown. Click on a link and then when that link is loaded, do a control F and search that link page for the name.

If you are unable to find any information there, then fill out the form on the 392nd research link on the left. If we have any other information available, we will share that with you.
