This website contains the enormous and fascinating history
of the 380th Bomb Group. The site contains meticulous statistical
data of the missions, flight crews, ground crews and the magnificent
Liberators. The 380th Bomb Group Association
is constantly adding information to their site, so save it
as a favourite and keep returning to learn more.

National Artillery Museum
North Fort was the place the 133rd Officers trained in 1942,
as it was originally

all wars. Don't forget that one of the 133rd Hvy AA Bty's
3.7" gun is on display fully restored!
