- B-24 Ferry Crews - Page 1

In June 1945, the B-24's of the 458th (and possibly several other bomb groups) were ferried back to the States from Horsham St. Faith. Air crew who had not completed their combat tours when the war ended were assigned the duty of flying the aircraft. In addition, ground personnel who were not essential to closing out the group's operations at Horsham were assigned (about 10 to an aircraft) to be returned to the States, ostensibly in order to get the group ready to retrain in B-29's for deployment to the Pacific Theater. Photographs were taken, but no identites were included. If anyone can identify any of the air or ground personnel in any of these photos, please contact me.
