Win,
Try going to www.armyairforces.com and go to the section entitled Groups by Number. Click on 384th BG and then post on their forum where you are likely to get some response from people associated with that group. Also look for a post about Association, Website and Reunions. This may be the top post but could be buried several pages down. It will have contacts and links and you may be able to get information from the membership secretary about any of the men who might be members of the association. Good luck.
