Greetings...
    I'm forwarding this on the behalf of a friend who is seeking out 
information on a plane his dad flew in back in the late 40's. Anyone who has 
ANY info what-so-ever, including places to contact, please respond here or 
via internet e-mail.
Thanks...

     Here is all the information I currently have on my Fathers
aircraft. Tail number 216, bumble bee nose art, I do not know what
this represents at this time) BOMBER was assigned to either the 15th
or 18th Bomber groups. This plane was based out of a small field North
of London. This Field had both B-24s and Fighter planes stationed
there, I am particularly interested in the time period of 3-14-46 to
3-13-49. this is the period of time my father was in the AAF. What
rotation period he was there I do not know. I do know that my dad
mentioned that he participated in the Berlin Airlift just after the
war ended, but I can't be sure because he never talked about it. I
also know that he was a waist gunner and sometimes top gunner on the
ac. Also if any body remembers serving with Mr Alvin Robert Cook known
as Bob or if anybody has any pictuers of the plane or knows the
whereabouts of it any and all history stories or any information at all
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.
