Hello, I having been travelling in Colorado to get information from the Weisblod Museum in Pueblo, Co. They were using my notes and research to add to their library. This Museum is dedicated to B-24 and other WW I I aircraft and its history. The 506th BS was formed or stationed in Pueblo during the war.</fieldset></form><form accept-charset="utf-8" action="http://www.jrank.org/api/search/v2" method="get"><fieldset style="border: 1px solid rgb(175, 175, 175); display: inline;"><br />
