Subject: USAAF Enquiry
Dear Sir,
I found your details on the 55th Fighter Group website and would be grateful if you could give me any information on how best to proceed with my research enquiry.
I would like some advice on how to contact veterans of the US Army Air Force/55th Fighter Group stationed at Wormingford, Essex, UK in 1944/5. I am undertaking research on Colchester Castle Museum during the war and two exhibitions were held in the Castle in 1945 that were arranged by the USAAF. These were:
'The England that America Loves' 27 Jan-11 Feb 1945, organised by Lt Frank Rittier, PR Officer, USAAF, Wormingford
and
'America Sees Britain' in March 1945.I would be very interested to find any US servicemen who contributed to these exhibitions or who recall visiting them.
I attach a photograph of the 'America Sees Britain' exhibition for information. Many thanks for your assistance,
Yours faithfully,
Cathy Pearson
