: Looking for info on my Father Bob Powell. Have documentation he was in 8th Air Force, Division 1, 36th Bomb Squad, enlisted from 7/12/44 - 7/13/45 stationed in England. Cannot fine any info on 36th Bomb Squad.
The 36th was not a regular bombing outfit. They are probably best known as an electronic counter measures outfit (great book at http://www.amazon.com/Squadron-Deception-36th-Bomb-World/dp/0764307967
but also operated as a night leaflet squadron. Check
