Feedback Form Update

On this page I will add links to other Web sites I think maybe of interest to you.

Here is a link from Gregg Heilman about the attack on the Hawaii Islands in 1941.  You can download the document from this site and it is free.  It's 228 pages and looks like it may have some nice information.   It is also available in book form from Amazon.com.   https://archive.org/details/7December1941TheAirForceStory 

 Jack I. Moore of the 11th Bomb Group (H), 42nd Sq. wrote a book called "We Never Said Good-Bye: Memoirs of a Bombardier from World War II" and it has been published.  There is a web site associated with this book, www.weneversaidgoodbye.com.  There are also some interesting videos from WWII on this site.

Three new links:
Story about the Grey Geese.
Video on the 2011 Reunion in Hawaii.
Video on the 2012 Reunion at Joint Base Andrews


The following site tells many stories and has pictures from WWII veterans who were stationed in the Aleutian Island during the war.  A lot of people are unaware of this part of WWII.  This site was developed and maintained by a very good and long time friend of mine and a USAF retiree.

Wickemeyer was a waist gunner, flight engineer and aerial photographer on a B-24 Liberator named "The Uninvited".  During WWII he flew bombing missions over many islands in the South Pacific as a member of the 11th Bombardment Group (H).  His son (Dan) has a web site with many pictures his dad took during the war.
