Hope this helps.

: I am trying to research my father's service in WW II. Any help in directing me to the most useful and efficient means of research would be greatly appreciated. I know he was in the 8th Air Force and that he flew 30 missions over Europe in the B-24, "Battlin' Baby." Thanks for any help that you can provide.
