We have over a thousand photos in our collection and hope to see that grow. At the moment the website is displaying only half of those. Our hope is to have at least one photo of each person, crew and aircraft. If you have any photos of this period that pertain to the 388th, we would be interested in hearing from you.

Aircraft provides photos of 388th aircraft (noted for the Square H on the tail). Most of the static photos were taken at Knettishall. The airborne photos were probably taken on a mission.

Person provides portrait (single person) photos of the men of the 388th. The photos are generally from the WWII period. There were taken at various places some stateside before the men joined the 388th and some at Knettishall. This collection does show the variety of clothing that was warn during that period.

Crew provides photos of the 388th crews. Many photos were taken at Knettishall but some were taken stateside - especially when the men are wearing light summer uniforms. It is interesting to compare the photos of combat hardened crews with those of the stateside trainees

Missions provides photos related to the 388th missions. Mostly these photos are the mission maps that were used to brief the crews just prior to their mission. The circles on the maps indicate known flak positions that the aircraft were meant to avoid.

Unknown Persons provides photos of men whom we cannot identify. If you can identify any of these men, please let us know.

Me410 : A German Me410 fighter is seen diving just off of the wingtip of a B-17. This has to be the most famous 388th photo. It has appeared in many newspapers, magasines and books. It is generally believe to have been taken by a photographer flying with the Head crew on the May 12, 1944 mission to Brux, Czechsolvakia
