492nd Bomb Group - Stories
Most of the Mission, Aircraft and Crew pages have links to some very interesting stories pertaining to the subject matter of that page. Stumbling upon them, however, can be like looking for needles in haystacks.
As stories are added to various spots throughout this website, we'll be listing links to many of them here, too. We think you'll find them well worth reading.
Underneath each story link is a reference link to a page where more information can be found regarding that particular mission, crew or aircraft.
Mission pages have links to the War Diaries listed below that will open up to the diary entry written for that particular day.
