Feb 1945 -- A squadron group portrait of the USAAF Detachment 'H' of the 8th Air Force taken at RAF Cheddington, Buckinghamshire. This is possibly a cover name for the 36th Bombardment Squadron, flying B-24 Liberators, which were assigned special operations, electronic countermeasures and leaflet dropping duties. This squadron had a few members of the Royal Air Force among it's crews during this late stage of WW2 in Europe. The date shows that the photo was taken just before the unit's move to RAF Alconbury -- Picture by Matt Coupe Collection | Lightroom Photos
