Nicely restored B17! The mission presentation was well thought out and the center was knowledgeable and well prepared. Great memorabilia from that era. Props to the brave Mighty Eighth Air Force.

This place is both sad and really informative. I was raised by family who served in WWII. I also have inlaws who were on the other side...Germany. My mother in law experienced the nightly bombing raids from B-17 's as a young girl. One of her brothers died on the eastern front. Her brother was a Junkers JU87 pilot in the Luftwaffe. He to was on the eastern front but he survived. My father was an engineer in the Merchant Marines. One of my uncle's was a combat engineer in the Pacific. This museum means so much to me.

I'm looking for any information on my uncle Michael Leshinski 379 bomb group 526.He flew 35 missions in 1943 as a radio man gunner on "9 yanks and a Rebel". Sadly he passed away after returning home at the age of 26. Thank you

John Leshinski | Oct 3, 2018
George Schuler | Oct 3, 2018

The records of all WWII servicemen are in St Louis. I recommend that you go to a local air force recruiter, they can provide you a form to inquire about his records. My father drove on the Red ball Express, and I went to a local Army recruiter in NJ and I was able to get the form and get my father's records and even replacement medals. Perservere, as it will take time to get an answer. In total, it took about a month just to get a reply, and about another year to receive the medals. Good Luck !
