The history of the 374th Troop Carrier Group written and is now
published as a result of hundreds of requests from members of the
group. their feeling toward their World War II organization was one
of loyalty, love, and a strong desire to have their accomplishments
recorded for history and posterity. Most men and women who
performed deeds of valor in war were not writers. It was necessary
for others to record their great deeds in combat operations.Â
Most of the material in this book is supported by solid evidence of
facts. The prime source of the raw material emanated from official
documents, on-the-spot writing by individual officers, and men who
had the ability to write short articles and essays of the events in
which they were a part. Further, official orders and detail records
at the squadron level provided precise times and places of events
for accuracy of information. Occasional newspaper articles written
by seasoned war correspondents provided background information and
scenes and events by trained and qualified observers for national
and international distribution. Every effort was made to check and
recheck information which was not officially documented by military
authorities. The sources of many of the officers and men of the
374th still living were tapped to their limits. Literally hundreds
of telephone calls were made to likely sources of information
through contacts emanating from the numerous squadron, group and
wing reunions held periodically since WWII.
