Hello From Colorado And A Returning Modeller After Almost 20 Years

Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, January 10, 2007 8:37 PM

Hello from Denver Colorado. My name is Graham Moran. I am a returning modeller after 20 years. I am trying to learn as much as I can due to the fact that I have been out for far to long. I am returning with a major project on my plate of plans. What might that be you ask? My grandfather was a squadron leader leader in the 8th Army Air Corp, The 492nd Bomb Group, and the 856th Bomb Squadron. The bomb squadron is having a reunion this summer so I decided that I would build a replica of his B-24-J. I have found all the information that I needed but I now need to find a place to get the nose art printed in decal form. I would appreciate any and all help that anyone can give me. I look forward to talking to you all and I am willing to chat whenever we can.

Welcome! What a neat project. I'd like to figure out which plane my late great uncle was a tail gunner on and build it.

CB, if you give me his name and when he served I might be able to help. If it was WWII I need to know the Theatre. Get back to me and let me know. You can e-mail me at Grahamskis@hotmail.com.

Thanks for the offer Graham, but all I have is that he was discharged by the Army on Jan. 7, 1946 and was a tail gunner. His name was Harold Lloyd Wells and he would have turned 18 in '43 though he could have lied and enlisted earlier. He didn't talk about it. All 4 of my mom's dad's brother served and I don't have many specifics for any of them.

CB you would be amazed at what I can find. I will do my best to find out for you and I will get back to you. Give me a few days to do some searching and I can let you know. Again I look forward to talking to you soon.

Thanks, Graham! Anything would be great. I do genealogy and am trying to track veteran's records going back to at least the Civil War (both sides), including a couple from the Indian Wars, WW2, and Korea. I've got a great Uncle I can't prove existed, no birth or death certificate, no veteran's or prison records. (Thanks Uncle Duke...)

He was born and discharged in Middletown, Ohio if that helps.
