401 Bomb Group "Year Book"
Nice, and it's the first (1946) edition too! The reprints don't have the squadron patches in colour. It wouldn't happen to have the original owner's name on the inside front cover at all? Regarding "Hell's Henchmen", here's a photo from April 1945 that may be of interest: All the... -

Researching the original recipient of a WWII A-2 …
If it's an enlisted man, or one who was later commissioned, start at NARA with the World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938 - 1946. If it's an officer you're looking for, things are a bit trickier unless he was a PoW at some point. Once you've got both name and serial number, that opens... -

B-15 jacket ID?
I've had this jacket in my hands to examine closely, and it is indeed filthy. If looks like someone has been wiping their sweaty, oily hands down the front for years. The lining and collar are getting a little threadbare in spots. Other than that, there's nothing on it that shouldn't be...- RAMC181
