467th Video: A Village Remembers
A Village Remembers
As a little boy in Norwich during the Blitz David Hastings hung around air bases in East Anglia, England watching the B24 Liberator bombers of the 2nd Air Division 8th USAAF take off and return. Years later David produced films about the 2nd Air Division and he and his wife, Jean, organized reunions in Norwich with veterans of the 2nd Air Division and their British friends. A Village Remembers is a unique film with rare archival World War II footage and archival footage from the 1980s of old air bases, the 2nd Air Division Memorial Library and city scenes of Norwich. You will see an extensive amount of footage of B24s, crews and the base of the 467 Bomb Group at Rackheath that was filmed and narrated by Colonel James Mahoney, Deputy Group Commander of the 467th. My father served under Colonel Mahoney. Dad flew five missions as a navigator on the 8th's champion bomber, Witchcraft. Also, you will hear Jordan Uttal, a leader of the 2nd Air Division Association, narrate footage of the old Memorial Library.
