Sam. . .Thanks for the get back. I knew that there were few 17 groups in the 15th. I'll contact them and see what I can come up with.

: : . . .I am trying to locate information on a pilot who served in the 15th Air Force in 44-45. His name is Norman W. Gordon. I am not sure what group he flew with but I believe he flew B-17's which narrows it down a little! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
: : Thanks, Mike
: If Norman Gordon flew in B-17s with the 15th Air
: Force, he probably would have been assigned either
: to the 97th BG or the 463rd BG. Unfortunately, the
: records on these two Bomb Groups are very sparse.
: I have the names of the pilots who flew with the
: 2nd, 99th, 301st, and 483rd Bomb Groups and he did
: not fly with any of these units. There were only
: six B-17 Groups (5th Wing) assigned to the 15th
: Air Force. Suggest you contact the 97th and 463rd
: on the armyairforces site. The historians of those
: units my be able to provide some information
