In October 1989, thirty 392nd BG veterans with their spouses and children traveled to Wendling, Norfolk, England to re-dedicate their Memorial to lost comrades. Fund-raising to renovate the Memorial, originally dedicated in September 1945, had been an effort of several years.
At the reunion banquet, the Americans got a wonderful surprise: the presentation to the Group attendees of this print as well as many more copies to sell in order to raise funds for the upkeep and maintenance of the Memorial.
Mervyn Jones, his wife Barbara and son Ben spearheaded the production of this print. Ben became interested in the 392nd BG's airfield as a lad and visited it often, especially when 392nd BG veterans came.
The original painting was by Norwich artist Frederick Searle. The print was donated by the artist, and three Norwich print firms: Green, Wade & Wilson, Ltd., Norwich, which did the color printing; A.P.P. (Origination) Ltd., Norwich, which did the color separation; and Steve Smith Graphics, Norwich, which did the artwork and typesetting.
Per the January 22, 1990 issue of the Eastern Daily Press, "The Liberator venture began after the Joneses mentioned the memorial rebuilding to some business friends. 'We wanted to be involved and express our personal gratitude for what those Wendling airmen did,' said Brian Wilson of Green, Wade & Wilson. 'It brought back a lot of nostalgia. I can remember seeing the Liberators in the war as a boy.'"

Please note: Although the title says these B-24s were en route to Berlin on 18 March 1945, the planes portrayed flew combat missions throughout the 392nd BG's 23 months in England. Only two are positively identified. In the foreground is #42-7478, the Flying Crusader (which crashed on a non-operational mission on October 9, 1944); above it to the right is #42-7466, Ford's Folly (which was shot down on the September 11, 1944 mission). Both were in the 578th Sqdn.

This is the World War Two combat story of the 392nd Bombardment Group (Heavy) - its men and machines. The purpose of this documentation will be served if, after over thirty two years, it can provide value as a reference source to all former members from which their memories, and those for fallen comrades, may be rekindled and, perhaps for a quite moment, remembered once again. To this end, this effort is dedicated.
Having just finished reading my copy I can truthfully say that it is one of the most comprehensive histories of a single Group ever published. It only lacks one item of statistical information - how many rivets there were in each aircraft! --William G. Robertie

A POW's account of his time in a german concentration camp during WWII
John (Jack) Adams was a navigator with 579th Squadron of the 392nd Bomb Group based at Wendling. His plane was shot down on November 13, 1943 during a bombing raid on the shipyards at Bremen, Germany.
Jack was one of the five crew members who survived and was rounded up by a local Nazi sympathizer and turned over to the Germans. This book is his personal account of the days that led up to that event and the time that he spent as a POW.
The book contains many photographs, drawings, and personal letters.

A short story of World War II, remembering the sacrifice of S/Sgt. Donald A. Kight, the last warrior of the 392nd Bomb Group (H) to die on a combat mission.
The air war over Germany was quickly drawing to a close. Other than an occasional sortie by German ME-262 jets and some concentrated flak, resistance was rapidly vanishing. That did not mean the danger of flying a bomber loaded with bombs and fuel was any less deadly as the crew of B-24 Liberator "J.C. POOLHALL" sadly discovered on April 14, 1945.
"Last to Die" honors the memory of S/Sgt. Donald A. Kight, his fellow crew members, and all who paid the ultimate price in the air war over Europe.
Net poceeds from the sale of this short story donated to the 392nd Bomb Group Memorial Association to help keep these memories alive.
