At right you will find samples of the over 480 pages on this
groundbreaking CD-ROM. As you can see this is not only an invaluable
source for rare images but for information as well.
Each officer from the Fightin' 79th (and a few from 20th Fighter
Group Headquarters) is profiled. Four of the sample profiles also include
their respective virtual galleries - these galleries run the gambit
from just a single additional photo to several pages of photos, related
items, excerpts from wartime reports and other information. Many of
these galleries were created thanks to many former members of the 20th
Fighter Group, and their families, opening up their collections. This
means that much of what is presented is being seen for the first time
anywhere.
The sample enlisted roster page shows the lengths we have gone
to uncover information about the men behind the scenes, the crewmen,
clerks, refuelers and mechanics who always seem to get overlooked when
works of this type are compiled. The serial numbers and enlistment data
for nearly 75% of these men has been included along with several photo
galleries of the men at work and play.
This is just a small sample of what is included on this
CD-ROM, for a complete list of all personnel be sure to check that link

not shown here, check out the screenshots.
