Working on several other visiting/guest pilots profiles at the moment. Have also updated the 336 squadron (ground) roster. My thanks to everyone who's contributed to the site. We've been up a little over ten months now and there's lots more to come! A happy and healthy 2013 to you all. Cheers! Added a new search feature today. Now it easy to locate things quickly on the site. Enter the info for which you are searching and fire away! On the home page in the section titled A Note To Our Visitors.

Hi all,
We had a great weekend in Dayton celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the activation of the 4th Fighter Group at Debden in 1942. Be sure to check out the NEWS section for a little info. A4FG members can find more content in the members section. There were so many great moments during the weekend. Watching the reaction of museum goers when they learned there were 4th Fighter Group vets around - people wishing to shake their hands, thanking them for their service. The guys created a stir wherever they went. Having original Debdenites at the bar in the Belly Tank for the first time in 67 years was a site to behold. And while the museum's P-51D is not decked out in 4th markings (c'mon guys, what are you waiting for?) the site of them standing beneath a red-nosed Mustang made for a fitting end to our day at the museum. We have also added a profile page for 334's Willard "GI" Gillette. We will be adding more on the 70th Celebration's festivities as time pemits. In the meantime, if you have information about a 4th vet and would like to share it with us please use the Contact Us form by clicking on the last selection in the navigation bar on our home page. Cheers, Tim The first additions of Autumn 2012 have been completed. These additions bring the total of bio/profile pages to over 200.
These will be the last updates for a while. This week the Association is celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the activation of the 4th back on 29 SEP 42. Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as some new ones too. Updates: Added profile pages for Griffin (336), Chatterley (334), WE Whalen (334), Patchen (336), Norris (336), Arnold (336), Mills (334) and Freeburger (335). Updated the page of RB Fraser (334). |
