Hi, I am studying the USAAF that were stationed in Nottingham during WW2 particularly the ones that were still present just before the D Day Landings. Any Info would seriously help my project, cheers.

Thank you all, I have now found out that these are not members of the 508 PIR, I think seeing the wings and the timing of when my mum was conceived fitted so we just presumed they were 508 . I then managed to match the badge and was very excited only to find that its the standard US Army Air Force badge...boo but apparently from the belts etc we have a narrow chance to locate the regiment so i will keep looking. Any help that can be given will most be gratefully received.

thank you

thank you am slowly looking through the photos

My Grandfather,

i will ask my mum if i can?

A few days ago my mother received some photos of who we believe to be her biological father, obviously after spending years not knowing anything about who he was, it was a great surprise after researching his uniform, to discover that he was member of the 508 PIR. My mother obviously has been busy along with other family members researching. So far we believe that survived the D Day Landings, returned to Notts and then left in September 1944 for the Battle of the Bulge.This is as far as we got and do not know if he survived. We don't have his a name just some photos of him with my Granny, Grea
