This is the Sparta / Wilkins Crew taken in the U.S. before they arrived at the 376th. The photo was probably taken at Langley Army Air Field.
The Navigator Adams flew infrequently with the Crew and was not aboard July 3, 1944. Adams never flew with the crew and there is no record of him joining the 376th HBG.
A Photo/Gunner, J.L. Morgan was aboard that day.
The website 376bg.org is NOT our site nor is it our endowment fund.
At the 2017 reunion, the board approved the donation of our archives to the Briscoe Center for American History, located on the University of Texas - Austin campus.
Also, the board approved a $5,000 donation to add to Ed Clendenin's $20,000 donation in the memory of his father. Together, these funds begin an endowment for the preservation of the 376 archives.
