We are interested in incorporating information relating to the 387th Bombardment Group and all personnel and units assigned to it. Specifically:

• Roster
• Basic information
• Full name
• Rank
• Serial number
• Squadron/unit assignment
• Dates with unit
• Section assignment
• Specific assignment (e.g.: Copilot, Assistant Crew Chief, etc.)
• Aircrew affiliation/Aircraft assignment
• Medals and ribbons earned
• Extended information
• Photograph
• "Resume" of what became of you after the war.
• Genealogical information - Names are not unique. Individuals searching revolutionary and civil war records are often stymied or misled because several servicemen had the same or simlar names. The following additional information would help readers in the distant future connect specific veterans to their families:
• Date of birth
• Place of birth
• Name of father
• Maiden name of mother
• Maiden name of wife
• Mission record
• We would like to create a record of each crewmember on every mission.
• Photographs
• We want photographs. Lots of photographs. Photographs of each aircraft, closeups of nose art, aircrews, facilities, battle damage, strike photos, etc. We want to end up with only digital scans of these photographs--in the end, we want everything to fit on digital CDs. The ideal situation is for the submitter to have a sixteen-year-old use his computer to make a high quality digital scan and send us that. If the photos are mounted in an album, don't remove them--just scan the album page. If you don't have a sixteen-year-old handy this can also be done at Kinko's or at many one-hour photo shops.  If you do send us originals, we'll make the scans and send them back.
• Oral History
• Stories and anecdotes
• Descriptions of group, squadron & headquarters operations
• Descriptions of stations & off-hour activities
• Documents
• We want diaries, orders, mission reports, maps, awards, newspaper articles, citations, discharge papers,  etc. A scan is best, but if it's easier simply send us a good photocopy and we'll do the scanning. Again, what we want to end up with is a digital version on CD.
• Artifacts
• Reasonably flat things, like patches, can be scanned directly by laying them on the scanner glass--in the case of patches, that will even show the threads! Artifacts that are truly three-dimensional will have to be photographed and then scanned, or photographed with a digital camera. Again, we want to end up with data that can be put on CDs.
