Changes to Our Websites in 2026

The 384th Bomb Group Heritage Association is making changes to this website in 2026, preparatory to transferring operation and maintenance to new management for long-term preservation. This website will retain all of the historical content, reports and displays it has provided since its founding in 1998, and we are moving the remainder of the content related to the post-WWII activities of the 384th Bomb Group, Inc. and its veterans to a new website, which will be launched in 2026 - use the 384th BGHA link at the right end of the top navigation bar on any page. We are also taking this opportunity to make some changes to the look and feel of this website, bringing more consistency to the features and navigation.
