Re: ETO transport operations January 1945
Nick
I don't know what Kent's friend wants.
All I am saying is that the 9th AF transport units are the safest bets.
I have no records of the Transport Groups you mention (Freeman is quite superficial in his 8th AF books re the 27th ATG), but they seem to have been used for ferrying purposes and at this point I have a problem with what they would actually do in the front line in eastern France Jan 1945.
Unfortunately my 9th AF books does not even mention any 31 ATG (nor does Maurer Maurer in his units books), so it is a rather obscure unit (to say the least). I nibbled with Google but that makes me even more puzzled, since the Squadrons listed under 31 ATG are all assigned to other TCGs (Maurer Maurer).
I have no time to digest the internet, but I suggest that Kent's friend follow up as much as possible available on the 'net to see if he can find any relevance in the details suppled by you and me.
Cheers
Stig
