  • USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction
    USAAF AIRFIELDS Guide and Map Introduction During the Second World War, the East of England became home to hundreds of US airmen. They began arriving in 1942, with many existing RAF (Royal Air Force) airfields made available to the USAAF (United States Army Air Force). By 1943 there were over 100,000 US airmen based in Britain. The largest concentration was in the East of England, where most of the 8th Air Force and some of the 9th were located on near a hundred bases. The 8th Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle, with the first units arriving in May 1942. The 9th Air Force was re-formed in England in October 1943 - it was the operator of the most formidable troop-carrying force ever assembled. Their arrival had an immediate impact on the East Anglian scene. This was the 'friendly invasion' - a time of jitterbugging dances and big band sounds, while the British got their first taste of peanut butter, chewing gum and Coke. Famous US bandleader Glenn Miller was based in the Bedford area (Bedfordshire), along with his orchestra during the Second World War. Close associations with residents of the region produced long lasting friendships, sometimes even marriage. At The Eagle pub in Cambridge (Cambridgeshire), and The Swan Hotel at Lavenham (Suffolk), airmen left their signatures on the ceiling/walls. The aircraft of the USAAF were the B-17 Flying Fortress and B-24 Liberator - used by the Bombardment Groups (BG); and the P-51 Mustang, P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt - used by the Fighter Groups (FG).

  • PAM Newsletter Feb March 2021
    PARHAM AIRFIELD MUSEUM NEWSLETTER February - March 2021 Celebrating 40 Years 1981- 2021 From our Chairman It is my pleasure to introduce another edition of our newsletter. I hope you enjoy reading our latest offerings. Work has continued throughout the winter to complete our new Exhibition Hall, to be named the “Kindred Building”. The concept is a building that conforms to modern standards but looks as much as possible like one from the 1940s. Wartime style lights create a yellow glow whilst glass cabinets are lit with LEDs and artefacts are displayed with new style, easier to read labels. Various photos and memorabilia are wall mounted in the research area. We are working with local families to identify the personnel in some of the local Home Guard and Auxiliary photos. The additional space allows us to display several items that were in store. These include original records and an Imperial typewriter, like that used by Joan Bright to type up Col Gubbin’s The Art of Guerrilla Warfare in 1939. Ever mindful of the need to appeal to children, we have provided a dressing up rail from which younger visitors can try on various items of American and British uniforms and equipment. Our little working group has been much encouraged by the positive response of the very few who have seen the results of our efforts. The attempt to blend the history of the locality, the British Resistance and Station 153 with world events seems to be especially appreciated. The last set of wall mounted display boards are being manufactured as I write.
