Two more videos have been loaded onto the site. They are Bob Bolinder and Raymond Daniel’s stories which were read at the June 2009 NFS Reunion. The links to the videos have been added to the Photo and Video Galleries Menu under Video Stories from the NFS selection. Bob and Raymonds’ stories are at the bottom of the list of video stories under the heading of Video stories from the 2009 NFS Reunion.
As a reminder, when you click on the video, you will be brought to the YouTube website where the videos are stored.
Sorry to be out of touch for awhile, but wanted to let you all know that I have loaded a 2nd gallery of photos on the Faces of the 417th page. This page now contains two galleries, each containing a 100 photos of members of the 417th. To see the new photos, go to the Photo and Video Galleries menu and select Faces of the 417th. Or, just click on this link.
Brick is planning to meet with the brother of J. F. Kirwan (417th Pilot) in March to secure more information and be the speaker at the Palm Springs Air Museum.
A new page has been added which captures the black and white photos from a collection that Daniel D. Whitney included as part of his 417th Night Fighter Squadron History CD. There are over 500 photos, so it will take a some time for me to get them all posted onto the page. 100 photos have been posted so far. More to come.
Presently, I am only focusing on the photos with people and names rather than places as they will have more meaning to families and friends who visit this site.
The photos are under the Photo and Video Gallery menu in the item called Faces of the 417th.
Just finished posting the remaining stories from the 2007 NFS reunion. I have also changed the format of the link to YouTube so that a new window/tab starts went the link is selected. This should make it easier for you to go back to the 417th NFS web page to view more videos.
