This web page began with a rather innocent email from a lady, Jovana, who lives in Leskovac, Serbia. On September 6, 1944, the 376th bombed her city. She wanted to know why.
Note: Many of the links are in Cyrillic. For these, I have tried to offer a link via Google Translate.

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.
