Greetings. Webpage Moved.
The web page you seek, part of either my WWII aviation research or my tribute to uncles on the Anderson side of the family who fought and served during WWII in the Army Air Force or with the family back on the homefront, has been moved. Please review the links below and follow the appropriate link.
Pages already moved to another webserver:
Watch here for an up-to-date list of web documents that have been moved to another server. Please re-establish your bookmarks/favourites from these new locations.
- At http://home.mchsi.com/~anderson.kevin/:
- A collection of webpages/documents dedicated to the 382nd Bombardment Group (Very Heavy), which trained for combat at Smoky Hills Army Air Field, Salina, Kansas, from December 1944 onward, including some time at Harvard Army Air Field, Harvard, Nebraska, and in Cuba, but ended up not going to combat. My uncle, Chester S. Anderson, trained as a gunner with the 382nd BG(VH) between December 1944 and July 1945. This webpage provides some history of the bomb group and catalogues a variety of history documents on this unit as derived from the official Air Force microfilm archive of the group, and also contains several pictures provided by former personnel (or family) of this bomb group.
- The Missions and Crews of Lt. Roy Anderson - This webpage documents what I can find out about the missions my uncle, Roy Anderson, flew as a pilot with the 100th and 70th Bomb Squadrons from mid-1944 through January 1945. It also provides pictures and information on the crews he flew with as a co-pilot with the 100th BS in 1944.
- A Photo Tribute to the H model of the B-25. This plane, one of the models that contained the 75mm cannon, is of particular interest to me. My uncle, 2LT Roy L. Anderson, was a pilot in the Pacific who flew this type of plane in mid-1944. This webpage provides a collection of photographs acquired on the internet, documenting the appearance and features of the airplane.
- Research on a particular B-25 known as "Powerhouse." This is a plane that apparently my uncle, Roy Anderson, got to fly soon after he started combat flying in mid-1944, and was important enough for him to have his picture taken with it. This webpage documents my attempts to determine which plane this is. This webpage is also a good summary of the steps in research one might do, including sources to consult, if one is doing similar research.
Further notes (if you've read this far):
I am in the process of reorganizing everything, the first reorganization since I started nearly two years ago. I am also looking to getting the files off of this particular server, which is at a college I used to teach at and who have been very generous in letting me use this server while I first got this research pulled together. I am exploring the possibility of either moving the information to a new web server that I purchase space on elsewhere and/or in only providing this rather extensive collection of documents by CD-ROM.
If you are a relative of mine: By all means send me an e-mail (see the contacts link below), and I will see about either giving you a temporary URL to use (while the data is still online) and/or about sending you a CD. Either way, e-mail me as I am curious who is viewing my files.
If you are someone else (i.e., not a relative): Thank you for being interested in my uncles or in one of the other related documents I have been sharing. Please see the list below of publically available documents that I've already moved to another server, or contact me (see the contacts link below) to see how else I might get information to you. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience.
