CD - FLAK NEWS/Remembrances

See note below for the latest status of these items.

This is a package of two CDs. The first CD contains copies of the 398th's official newsletter, Flak News, from August 1986 through October 1994. The second CD continues Flak News issues from January 1995 through January 2000. Much 398th history has been published in the 398th's Flak News by its editor and 398th Public Relations chairperson, Allen Ostrom. This remarkable record of newsletter production contains detailed reports and descriptions of just about all 398th Memorial Association events and accomplishments since 1985.

The newsletters also include membership narratives, combat statistics, etc. and reports on annual reunions and 398th sponsored return trips to Nuthampstead and overseas sites of 398th history. Added to the second disk is a complete copy of Remembrances, a book published some years ago by Allen Ostrom that consolidates historic 398th combat data, including the details of all 398th combat missions, names of those killed in action, those wounded in action, prisoners of war, those that evaded capture, aircraft losses, 398th leadership personnel roles and 398th crew member personal experiences.

 

Note: These CDs are not currently available in the 398th PX. They may be considered for the future if there is sufficient interest. The 398th PX does carry a Xerox copy of the original 1989 Remembrances.
