I am posting directions to access the holdings of the 8th Air Force Archives that are housed at Penn State University. Included are the papers of and materials acquired by James Hill during his tenure as editor of the 8th Air Force News. Also included are donations from the PA 8th Air Force Historical Society and many artifacts donated to the archive by individual veterans from Pennsylvania. While unable to view the actual material on-line if you find something of interest I can help you to obtain the additional information. There are a number of folks who have asked me about the collection (knowing I work in the PSU library system). If you ever find yourself in central PA I would urge you to stop by.
