Hi folks, this is my first post so I'm sorry if I'm interrupting something.  I recently found an old copy of Interphone, it's a book showing all the pilots training at Marana Basic Flying School in the 43-G classes.  I don't know if any of these men ended up in your group.  Photos of 57 different training crews are shown with 4-6 men each.  Lots of photos here.  I would be glad to check the book for any particular names for anyone who might have an interest in this.  I can email individual photos.  No cost here, I just want to see if anyone needs any of this info.  Joyce Keefe

Hello Joyce,  I just became a registered used here.  May I take advantage of your kind offer to check for names in the Interphone?  I'm looking for any reference to my dad, Roland L. Greene (Jr.)

Thanks,

Would you like to have a copy of your father's missions, including the crew(s) he flew with, the a/c he flew on and the formation position (where available)?

I have most of the Loading Lists for the Group's missions although I will place this caveat here......the 773rd (at the beginning of their participation in the war) had the most jumbled and disorganized set of Loading Lists of any of the squadrons.  Their Loading Lists were handwritten (some not so well either) and did not always list the position of the personnel.  But I can provide you with what I have as best I can decipher their records.  Currently I do not have any Loading Lists prior to 5 April 1944 which would exclude the March 18, 19, 30; April 2, 3 missions.

Let me know if you would like to have these records and I will also need a mailing address of where to send them.
