467th Bombardment Group
The CVF Warbird Air Group would like the honor the veterans of the 467th (H) Bombardment Group. The original air echelon of the 467th BG(H) arrived at the base of Rackheath, to the northeast of Norwich, during early March 1944. Under the command of Col. Albert J. Shower, the Group, with its four component
Squadrons (the 788th, 789th, 790th, and 791st, including the Base Ancillary units), was assigned to the 2nd Air
(Bombardment) Division, 8th Air Force. The 467th BG(H) was one of 14 bombardment groups composing the 2nd Air Division and their objective was to engage in the strategic bombing against Nazi Germany.
Strategic bombing involved campaigns to destroy the industries and communications that directly or indirectly
supported the enemy's war effort.
​
CVF Warbirds will honor the 467th BG by painting all their Flightline B-24's in the same scheme as other 467th BG Aircraft from the 789th and 790th Bombardment Squadrons.
