I am Historian for the Scouting Forces of the 8th Air Force. The guys who flew ahead of the bombers in P-51 Mustangs and scouted the enroute weathr and the targets for the Mission Commanders.
Ernie Yeager of the 390th was quoted as saying he flew with the 3rd scouting Force out of Wormingford. He has passed away but I am looking for anyone who knew him in the 390th and knew when he left to go to the Scouts.
