Many thanks to Eric Gagnon for hand delivering albums and files from his father’s 385th archives! Invaluable information we don’t want to get lost to history!

We are more than willing to help scan files and photos that you may wish to keep, but would like to share with the group and preserve your airman’s legacy for generations to come! And it’s a great excuse to get together!

We remember the Hutchison and Pease crews today. They perished in the mid-air collision over Reedham on February 21, 1944. Rest in peace.
