Looking for info/ pics on my grandfather William Meyer Johnson 381st

Hi Dan
 
I think you mean 381st BG 535th BS. The best place to start if you haven't already been there is: http://www.381stbg.org/index.php

Another site that is especially helpful and has a large photo database is: http://www.fold3.com/
 
As with any search the more you know the better your search results will be. For instance it would be helpful to know your grandfather's date in service, his birth date, his service #, serial # and/or name of a/c he served aboard, etc.
 
Write everything down, and bookmark helpful sites. I guarantee you, unless you hit a home run, and find out everything you want to know, right out of the gate, that there will come a time when you know you saw something, somewhere, but can't remember where it was.
 
Good luck to you

Hi Daniel,
Having searched the various 381st databases I cannot find a William Meyer Johnson. However, there is a Meyer W. Johnson who joined the 535th as a S/Sgt on June 12th 1944 as a Radio Op/Gunner, was promoted to T/Sgt  on June 24th and left England for the US on April 13th 1945. His serial number was 34254505 and he flew with the James R. Lang crew at least until November 1944. Pretty sure this must be your Grandfather and I have found all 35 of his missions. I've attached them here as a PDF but, unfortunately it is missing out the pilot's name. If you drop me an email to jim@381st.com I can send you the original Excel file. However, all the pilots are Jim Lang apart from the first mission in the list who is Bob Osborne and the last who is John Tuz. These missions are not in Chronological order.
No picture I'm afraid.
It's unusual to find all missions for a crew member. Quite pleased with this one.
Good luck in your researches,
Jim
