Aerial shot of the main briefing room site (site 2) and the hospital (site 13). Taken in 1944 from a 7th Photographic Group P-38. An 'X' marks the spot where the 392nd Memorial now stands.

A nice winter shot looking towards the entrance to the hospital site located to the east of the main technical site. This is the 'Ambulance Only' entrance as can be determined from the signs. The entrance was located on Dereham Rd and is now the area where the current memorial is to be found.

On this site was the base hospital and medical facilities. It is located about 500 yards from the main airfield site. Several nissen huts served as the medical buildings which no longer remain today. It is on this former site that the 392nd Memorial is to be found. Only one concrete roadway and an underground bomb shelter remain today. The memorial was erected and dedicated here in 1945. The memorial was a simple granite obelisk that stood in lone corner of site 13 before it was renovated and re-dedicated in 1989.

Although this site was one of the smallest on Wendling, it was one of the most important. It covered about 2 acres in total with about 7 to 10 buildings. The main hospital buildings were the long nissen huts similar to the airmen's living quarters located on the other various sites.

The photographs below show what little remains today. A house has recently been built where the main hospital buildings stood. Behind that is to be found a bomb shelter.

It is hard to imagine, standing on this site today, this was a bustling place treating war wounded. Not all the injuries treated here were flying related of course. Many an airmen were treated here for 'mishaps' that occurred on the English country roads, after returning home late at night from a country pub after a 'few' pints of the local brew.

A view of how Site 13 looks today. In the centre can be seen the lone bomb shelter in the middle of the former site. To the left in the background can be seen the original ops briefing room located on Site 2.

The entrance to the grass covered bomb shelter. Just as it was then, the shelter is filled with about 1-2ft of water due to the high water table in the area.
