Hi Guys,
   In my research of my Uncle's Affiliation with the 384th
BG, one of my friends said that her father had been a B/Nav
in the 401st and that is where he met and married her mother; His last name is Wilde...Any help in this will be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Query on 401st  member

There is a lot of confusion about the 401st. Actually, there was our 401st Bomb Group. There was also a 401st Bomb Squadron, which was part of the 91st Bomb Group at Kimbolton/Bassingbourne. They were one of the early groups, and holds the record for the highest losses-197 MIA aircraft. They had highest number of enemy aircraft destroyed-420. Rough days for those pioneers. The book "The Mighty Eigth" by Roger Freeman has many entries about the 91st BG  and you may be able to trace Wilde through them. Hope this gives you a starting clue to research him.
