56th Fighter Group Website Launched.

[lampie]

For too long now "Zemke's Wolfpack" has been without a proper website.
This has now been rectified with the launch of a new website dedicated to the 56th Fighter Group.
On there you will be able to find :
Interviews with 56th Fighter Group veterans.
A history of the 56th,
A complete list of missions flown,
Personnel roster for the whole group and its support units.
Over 300 ( and rising) combat reports.
Selected 56th Fighter Group publications
Photo Gallerys with many previously unseen photographs being added regularly.
Reunion photographs and much more!
The site can be found at
www.56thfightergroup.co.uk
Cave Tonitrum!

Thanks for information and link, Lampie!

I noted that someone found a photo of Hugh Beeler. Hugh and I went through P-47 training at Richmond, VA in August '43. Does anyone know if Hugh is still alive? He was a fine gentleman.
