Imperial War Museum asks public to help chart history of WWII American airmen in England | Culture24 Called the American Air Museum website, the new project encourages
members of the public to add their memories and knowledge to a vast
database of images collected by East Anglian aviation historian Roger
Freeman (1928-2005), who amassed more than 15,000 prints and slides
depicting American air personnel in England.
Launching with
5,000 images from the Freeman collection, many of which have not been
seen publicly before, organisers hope web visitors will recognise people
or places in the photographs or have vivid memories of American
personnel in their local town or village.
