To support the purpose of the Eighth Air Force Historical Society, (8thAFHS), namely, to perpetuate the history of the Mighty Eighth Air Force from 1942 to the present; to revere the memory of lost comrades; and to provide social events for 8thAFS members who reside in Oregon or Southern Washington.
New web site for the Oregon Chapter. As of mid-September the chapter activated a new domain on the Internet. It is called www.8thafhsoregon.com. This will allow the chapter to post chapter specific documents, research, writings, and other 8th AF information in larger quantities than what I could do here on my own domain. I used these pages as a baseline to start it.
