the 366

The War Memorial at the Airfield pays tribute to 366 U.S.A.A.F. servicemen who died serving from Old Buckenham during the war.

The 453rd, in fact, lost at least 390 during the war. This list details those who died, as well as the aircraft and date and includes those who perished in training accidents and during a flight from the U.S. to Old Buckenham. We are very grateful to Robert Rumsby for providing this updated list.

 

A Memorial to them all will form part of the Museum.
