34th BOMB GROUP ASSOCIATION MEMBERSHIP NOTICE
At the 2004 Reunion a new Treasurer was elected, Bonnie Zylsta. Bonnie, however, is not yet set up to begin receiving membership dues, so the former treasurer, Hal Province has agreed to continue collecting the dues until further notice. The only problem is, Hal has recently moved, so please take note of his new address listed here.
SEND DUES to Hal Province, 31 Shore Crest Cir, Carriere, MS 39426. Hal's phone number remains the same.
Please pass this information along to any vets you know who do not have internet access.
REUNION INFORMATION
2004 Reunion: September 8-12, 2004 at the Marriott in Dayton, Ohio.
This year's reunion was another great event. 196 registered their attendance. On Friday we enjoyed a wonderful tour of the Air Force Museum and Saturday was highlighted by the morning Membership Meeting and the evening Gala Banquet.
CALLING ALL GROUND CREW MEMBERS! YOUR HELP IS NEEDED NOW!
NEW PAGE ADDED ON CREW CHIEFS AND GROUND CREW MEMBERS
On this new page, dedicated to the Ground Crews that kept the bombers flying, I am listing all of the known Crew Chiefs, by Squadron, along with any available information on the men that worked with the Crew Chiefs and the planes they maintained. Except for the MOS number 750 on the passenger lists of the men being deployed to England and those flying home after the war, none of this information appears in the official records of the group. I will need your help to make this page anywhere close to complete. If you worked on a ground crew, please let me know the name of the Crew Chief and possibly the names or numbers of the planes you helped maintain. The ground crews always seem to get scant mention in the unit histories. Let's do together what we can to correct that situation where the 34th Bomb Group is concerned.

MORE HELP WANTED!!!
I would like to add information and photos about the other aircraft at Mendlesham besides the B-24s and B-17s. I know there was an early P-51 and later a P-47. There was also a Piper L-4, a C-78 Bobcat, an A-20, a C-64 Nouseman and possibly other aircraft. Please contact me with any information and/or photos of these planes.
I would also like to have information on the ground equipment used by the 34th BG, like the Cletrac shown above. Again, please contact me with information and/or photos of 34th BG jeeps, trucks, firetrucks, ambulances, etc. THANKS.
