Through the months of active service the 457th Bomb Group had many officers and enlisted men in training and on base in England. An estimated 3700 officers and enlisted men were proud members of the Fireball Outfit. Here you will find individual photos of men with their last names starting with an A – M.
In this collection Individual Photos A- M you will find 579 photos. In totall (Individual Photos A – M and Individual Photos N – Z) we have been able to find 958 photos of 457th Bomb Group members. That means that we are still missing 2742 photos! We had only 54 photos when we started these collections and managed to find 904 more in the last few years.
We hope that more and more people will start sending in photos of 457th Bomb Group members so we can see who they were for many many more years to come!
