Am writing a history of The Great SNAFU Fleet; 1st Combat Cargo Squadron & 344th Airdrome Squadron which were combined in Sep 45 as the 326 Troop Carrier Squadron. The 326th is now an Air Force Reserve C-5 unit at Dover AFB. Combat Cargo units were in 10A
from June 44 to Sep 45, supplying American and British units in Burma and China. I have a book I am trying to get published but have very limited means. Am hopeful there is a university press out there who will take a chance on the unknown units of comba
cargo in the forgotten theater of the CBI. Estimate sales of 1500 - 2500 if published. If anyone knows of an interested publisher, please let me know. If you have information on the 1st CCS/344 AS/326 TCS or desire same, please contact me. Thanks!

I am looking for those who served in India.
Comments:
My father was an engineer aboard a cargo plane
which "flew the hump". Like many of the other
guys who were on this job, as I can tell from
reading the notes in the site, he didn't talk
about it much. He had lots of pictures of India,
and talked mostly of the fun he had with the other members of his crew. He did say that they
never bothered to wear parachutes because if the
plane went down with a full load of cargo, there
wasn't much chance of getting out before it crashed. He told my sister Betty about coming home
from a mission and finding a menacing monkey in
his bunk, and scared the hell out of the animal,
he was so tired and pent up. Anyway, I would really love to find someone who may have flown with him or known him. I don't have much detail
about what squadron he was in, etc. I do know that he recieved the Distinguished Flying Cross and few other medals. He never made much of these. I often wonder what it must have been like
for a 20 year old guy to fly in one of those crates over the Himalaya Mountains!

I just stumbled across your site, and found a picture of my uncle, Don Devaurs, there. Then I spent some time wandering around, and you've put together one hell of a website!!

in India, but i'm not sure where.
Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi,
My dad worked for Boeing during the war and I remember him talking about the aircraft on which he worked. He loved those planes and designed with safety in mind.
I hope he saved some lives.

My deceased father, Hugh Stegall, was a flight armorer for P-40s in northeast India. He served the duration and was in CBI for about 21/2 years. I do not know his unit at this time but would appreciate anyone who knew him or his activities during those ye
rs. He was from the Galesburg, IL area as was a pilot, last named Bulkeley, whom I believed served in another group or squadron.
I am glad there is site for CBI. These men are forgotten, by and large.

Gentlemen: I represent the Stillwater Airport Memorial Museum of Stillwater, Oklahoma. Over the past seven years, I've been writing a book about the 475 combat aircraft that were scrapped at our airfield immediately after World War Two. For your informa
ion, 228 of these airplanes were Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bombers. Many saw combat during the war. According to my records, one was assigned to the 10th Air Force: B-24D 41-24098 of the 7th Bomb Group, 9th Bomb Squadron. I'm writing in regards
to obtaining information and photographs for publication concerning this particular Liberator. Also, I'd like to establish contact with its crew members to collect for posterity their memories about this aircraft. Any assistance you can give my organiza
ion will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This is a great site, I recently uncovered my late father's military artifacts and am looking for information on finding his unit. All I have to go on is his name (Fred J. Sherman) and several patches. I am waiting to match his patches, from the 10th and
hat looks like a flying tigers patch to some pictures my mother is sending. He never talked about the war, but I know he was in China and India. My mom remembered he had a lot of medals on his uniform and that he was injured while in India. Anyone with se
rch ideas will be welcome. I may be searching down the wrong road. I would like to discover what it was he never talked about. Thank you for your help.

It's great to find a site dedicated to the 10th and especially (for me personally) the 89th. My dad was a Banshee and is the guy who designed the skull/ace logo (I have an original hand-painted one on the wall behind me!)...Freeling Clower. Dad is still a
ive and well and now 80 years old. He always gets a chuckle from the symbology attributed to the skull logo. He says it wasn't so much that the "clouds symbolize such and such and the skull this or that"...it was really a bunch of very young men looking f
r a cool squadron logo!
And these same young men flew, fought and indeed
served their country in some of the worst conditions of the war and in a theatre that is still overshadowed by
what went on in Europe and Pacific theatres. I'm extremely glad this web site exists. It's about time these
pilots and ground crews got the recognition they deserve.
Comments:
My dads name is Howard Decker and he was in the 89th fighter squadron, 80th fighter group. He lost his copy of the book, "Burma Banshees". I am trying to help him locate another copy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My last visit was in October of 98. You should be
very proud of this tribute to the 10th air force
and the nomads that made up it's cadre and their
experiences at the end of the world in World War
II. From Delhi, Barrackport and Belvedere in India
to Kanjikoah in Assam, we went to Myitkyina and
Bhamo in Burma, then back to Piardoba in India for
refitting before heading across the hump to
Kunming and Liuchow in China where we were getting
ready for a possible invasion of forces into china
through Canton China as a diversion from the main
Japanese invasion when good ole Harry had the
intestinal fortitude to drop the big ones on
Japan. Then to Shanghia for some good duty until
we disbanded and headed home spending Christmas
and New Year on a ship( I can't recall the ship
but I can certainly recall the party we had to
celebrate the wake of the end of the 10th air
force. It was a great ride. Thanks again for this
tribute to the 10th Air Force. To all our comrades
who didn't make it back. May they all be resting
a little better. It seems a lot of their children

Lt. Simonetti with his crew of seven men was shot down by a heavily armed Japanese Cruiser / Destroyer over the Gulf of Bengal off the coast of Burma in July 1943. Thanks to the thoughtful recollections of Capt. Wilmer E. McDowell, who was squadron leader
on that fateful day in July, I was able to reconstruct my granduncle's last mission and also get to know another side of the man I never met.

Very nice website!
My dad served in the 10th as an MP, mostly in Ledo. He has very interesting stories of snakes, bats, rogue elephants, water buffalo wandering onto runways, along with the "normal" horror stories of army life.
His unit, the 1213th MP, is having a reuion in July near Canton, OH.
I'm thinking of scanning some photos for the guys and setting up a website of my own as a tribute to them.
Probably will involve some photos and stories. I'll have it ready by July 4.
If anyone has any other info on the 1213th, please contact me at [email protected]..
And to all you guys who served there, my hat's off to you!
