Divine Burden

taylor_john_book_cover

Divine Burden is the remarkable story of my Uncle “Jack” Taylor who miraculously survived 101 bomber combat missions from the early days of the WWII until being wounded a third time and returning home to the love of his life, Pat.

Divine Burden explores the context of the war experience and the many deadly factors conspiring against aviators in Europe and Rommel’s North Africa. The book also contains a transcription of my Uncle’s wartime Combat Log, describing daily activities, the reality of combat, and the grinding losses he witnessed. Finally, the book is an exploration of the enigmatic nature of momentous events and how they travel through time and families.

The book is available from Amazon.  Click here to go to the book's webpage.

376 ARCHIVES

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.

Donate directly to the 376 Endowment
