The men of the 384th Bombardment Group (Heavy) flew 316 combat missions over Europe in B-17 aircraft during World War II, in the 8th Air Force's bombing campaign against Axis powers. This website honors their valor and sacrifice.

All information about the 384th Bomb Group, Inc. (aka 384th Bomb Group Heritage Association), established by our Veterans in 1968, has been moved to a new website, which can be reached by the rightmost link in the top navigation bar on any page.
This site now contains only the WWII operational records of the 384th Bomb Group. These changes, accomplished during 2026 thru the efforts of our dedicated Volunteers, will help ensure the long-term preservation of this valuable historical resource.
