AAF pilot serial numbers

[RSwank]

I don't know of any really good site. The Army and USAF section of this site has sometimes been helpful, but it is a matter of luck if the person you seek is listed.

You can do a google "site search" to find by a serial number.

E.g: site:www.usofficerdocuments.com/ "1688073"

will find an officer whose serial number contains 1688073, the search will find:

YABLON, ABRAHAM O-1688073

(Actually, I just noticed that their built in "Search" works for serial numbers also.)



fold3.com can sometimes be helpful as names and serial numbers will appear in MACRs, sometimes just in the witness statements.

RSwank,

Thank you for the lead, I will check into it. I do subscribe to fold3 so have gone through it, as well as AAF Study #85 (which is limited to pilots who were awarded victories), both the POW listing and Escape and Evasion listing thru on-line NARA as well as other misc documents and records I run across from various sources.
