90th Bomb Group Message Board
Message No. 539Message:
Greetings from Colorado Springs! I'm hoping you can put this out to your membership via your newsletter or other means.
I'm the assistant director for the Peterson Air and Space Museum on what is now Peterson AFB here in Colorado Springs. I'm presently putting together a new exhibit that will illustrate B-24 combat crew training operations at Peterson Army Air Base during 1943-1944.
We have surprisingly little in the way of photographs, remembrances, and memorabilia from those who trained here, and I'm hoping to locate and correspond with some of your 93rd BG Association members (or their relatives) that were stationed here for combat crew training.
I can be contacted via e-mail at jeffrey.nash@peterson.af.mil, or through the museum web site at www.petemuseum.org. Or, your members can write or call me at:
Peterson Air and Space Museum
Attn: Jeff Nash
150 East Ent Ave
Peterson AFB, CO 80914-1303

Many thanks for your help, and for your service to your country. You have my assurance that our B-24 exhibit will completely and accurately tell your story to the public.
Sincerely,
Jeff Nash
