RE-ENACTING THE 94TH BOMB GROUP (H)
I have been in world of re-enactment since many years ago, due to the bonds that i have with the veterans of the 94th BG i decided to keep re-enacting the US Army Air Corps in all the official ceremonies around the Vercors area due to incredible history regarding these special supplies missions to the free french resistance.
SinceJanuary 2005 we decided (with 3 others re-enactors) to create our own re-enactment association, witch is now offically registered. Every years it is such an honor for me to host my friend Wilbur Richardson who was a ball turret gunner on board of the B17 named "Kismet". He's actually my technical history manager. He's the man who mounted my dress tunic, and every times this is a big pleasure to discuss about USAAF history. In 2004 i found a canister (see pictures) witch were probably dropped by the 94th Bomb Group 60 years ago (July 14th 1944). In 2006 we have the project to creat a monument dedocated to the men of 8th Air Force who took part in these drop supplies missions. Several other canisters has been found around the area, and we planed to present one of the them to te the museum of the 8th Air Force. This will be possible with the help of Wilbur Richardson who is trying to arrange a ceremony for this occasion.
