  • Bombardment Group History: March 1944
    12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 321st Bombardment Group History: March 1944 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For my dad, Colonel John “Jack” Fitzgerald, U.S. Army (deceased) “Lil Butch” John T. Fitzgerald, SMSgt, U.S. Air Force (retired) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 321st Bombardment Group History: March 1944 The following is a compilation of the 321st Bomb Group’s Headquarters and individual Squadron War Diaries. They have been transcribed word for word, from the Squadron Histories provided by the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA), Maxwell Air Force Base Alabama. At the end of each Squadron’s daily entry, the individuals cited in the entry are identified by full name, rank and duty, in alphabetical order. The day’s entry begins with the Tactical Operations Statement, from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Chronology, for the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO). The history also includes mission reports, mission crew rosters, Missing Air Crew Reports (MACR), personal mission logs, journals, and diaries made available by various sources. Invitation Anyone who has documentation pertaining to the 321st Bomb Group or its members, and would like to have it included in this history, is welcome to participate. Copies of: photos (official or personal); orders (promotion, decoration, travel, etc.); Mission Reports; Missing Air Crew Reports; personal diaries, logs, journals, etc; other documentation; or information that will help identify hi-lited individuals will be greatly appreciated, as one of my goals is to correctly identify every man and plane assigned to the 321st Bomb Group. My only interest in this project is to honor those who served by perpetuating their story, and making it available for future generations, particularly the families and friends of our Great Heroes.

  • Here Was No More Sleep for Me That Night and I Was up Early and First in the Breakfast Queue
    1 TWO AIR FORCES by Jock Cassels 2 To Maureen - a truly understanding, supportive and loyal Service wife. FOREWORD The original version of this book was written for the family records and contained details of family genealogy and my early years, but as my Service friends would no doubt find the Cassels genealogy of little interest, I have omitted these details. This version only deals with my service in TWO AIR FORCES. 3 Let me start with some personal details 1. Name: Cunningham Norman McIntyre Cassels 2. Born: 11th August 1923 in Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, Scotland Arrived in Australia: November 1966 with my wife (Maureen), daughters (Carol and Anne) and son Charles 3. Career: Served 37 years in 2 Air Forces ( RAF 25, RAAF 12) Joined 1941 and Retired in 1979. I was never blessed with a retentive memory, and being born in 1923 the advancing years haven't helped, so I can't guarantee that I will be able to recall all of the events which would normally be included in a life story. However I will do my best to reach into the past and hopefully put together, as accurately as possible, the events which make up this story. 4 MY SERVICE YEARS - 1941-1979 RAF -1941-1996 RAAF - 1966-1979 I turned 18 on 11 August 1941 and a few days later went to the RAF recruiting office in Glasgow to offer my services for pilot training. My details were taken and I was given a railway travel voucher and told to report to the Recruiting Centre in Edinburgh on 8 September to be enlisted.

    12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 321st Bombardment Group History: October 1943 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For my dad, Colonel John “Jack” Fitzgerald, U.S. Army (deceased) “Lil Butch” John T. Fitzgerald, SMSgt, U.S. Air Force (retired) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12th Air Force, 57th Bombardment Wing 321st Bombardment Group History: October 1943 The following is a compilation of the 321st Bomb Group’s Headquarters and individual Squadron War Diaries. They have been transcribed word for word, from the Squadron Histories provided by the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA), Maxwell Air Force Base Alabama. At the end of each Squadron’s daily entry, the individuals cited in the entry are identified by full name, rank and duty, in alphabetical order. The day’s entry begins with the Tactical Operations Statement, from the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) Chronology, for the Mediterranean Theater of Operations (MTO). The history also includes mission reports, mission crew rosters, Missing Air Crew Reports (MACR), personal mission logs, journals, and diaries made available by various sources. Invitation Anyone who has documentation pertaining to the 321st Bomb Group or its members, and would like to have it included in this history, is welcome to participate. Copies of: photos (official or personal); orders (promotion, decoration, travel, etc.); Mission Reports; Missing Air Crew Reports; personal diaries, logs, journals, etc; other documentation; or information that will help identify hi-lited individuals will be greatly appreciated, as one of my goals is to correctly identify every man and plane assigned to the 321st Bomb Group. My only interest in this project is to honor those who served by perpetuating their story, and making it available for future generations, particularly the families and friends of our Great Heroes.
