: does anyone know if there are any or can anyone please recommend books on these three units?
Hi Anthony,
Over almost 12 years of trying to obtain books on each of the Bomb Groups of the 1AD, 2AD & 3AD, finding a book on the 445thBG has always eluded me, and all I have on the 445thBG is a copy of 'The Kassel Mission Reports'which you might be still able to get a copy of from
KMMA, Inc.
P.O. Box#413
Birmingham, MI 48012
Also, I do have a copy of The Master Roster, for the 445thBG.
As for the 453rdBG, in January this year, through 'Alibris'I managed to tack down a second -hand copy of the book 'In Search of Peace ' by Micheal D. Benarcik, which is a brilliant book. The book I have was pubished in 1989 by
The Michael D. Benarcik Foundation,
2900-A Concord Pike,
Wilmington, DE 19803.
I know I paid $249.95 for this second-hand book.
Also I have a copy of Stuart J. Wrights book 'An Emotional Gauntlet' published in 2004
ISBN 1 84415 120 4.
This book I am sure you would be able to obtain a copy.
Published this year, I bought a great book on the 389thBG called 'The Sky Scorpions: Story of the 389th Bombardment Group in World War ll' written by Paul Wilson and Ron Mackay.
ISBN: 0-7643-2422-5
Hope this is of some help,
Cheers,
Moofy
