1LT Orlin A. Gudim - Pilot

Post by mdjohnson54 » 04 Apr 2025 2048

Hello,

1st Lieutenant Orlin A. Gudim is my grandfather and a B24 pilot. I have his service records - which say he was discharged from the Army Air Forces, 90th Bomb Group, 371st Bomb Squadron. Maybe 371st is a typo and it should be 321st? Looking to add his crew photo (which I have) and be a part of this group! Thankyou.

Welcome to the 90th Bomb Group site! It's possible one of our members can help track records to know which Squadron your Grandfather served under. If you have any of his crew member names that also may help verify which squadron.

If you provide more information, it can take from a few hours to a couple days to display due to the large amounts of spam we receive and all new posts are moderated.

Thank you for your post.

Thankyou so much! It is great to see the names of the men who flew with him. I only knew of one, "Cordova." I never did meet any of them.
