Mail man just left. I ordered this one a while ago and finally arrived. Every thing I am currently reading will be put on hold and will start this one this weekend. This one written by the men of the 22nd Bomb squadron association but what makes this one different is only part of it is history. It's full of almost 300 pages of short stories of the men that flew the B-25's and A-26's in the China Burma-India war. Bombardiers, pilots, navigators, co-pilots and more tell there story of the good, bad, and sad times fight the war in this region during WWII.

I have already seen one picture in the book of a B-25 dropping mines which is a first for me to see. Can't wait to see what other surprises are inside. Now I wish I didn't have to go to work tonight.

Oh well, I waited this long a couple of more days wont hurt me I guess.

 
Are they the guys that flew the silver B-26's early in the war?
 

Oral history done well is worth it's weight in gold. I'll bookmark your post and order once I've cleared up my backlog, thanks.

No. The 22nd Bomb Squadron flew B-25s in The CBI.
You are thinking of the 19th Bomb Squadron, which belonged to the 22nd Bomb Group, which flew B-26s out of Australia and New Guinea. The 19th Bomb Squadron was nicknamed the "Silver Fleet" when during the second half of 1943 it flew overhauled B-26s that had been stripped of their original paint. The 19th BS flew the first and last combat missions of the B-26 in the Pacific theater. Check out Revenge of the Red Raiders from Hickey & Co at IRPC
