While searching our bookshelves for a book, another volume of some significance in my personal history caught my attention. Heroes of The 483rd is the title of this outsized tome, a compilation of the activity and personnel of the 483rd Heavy Bombardment Group of the 15th Air Force. The pages display the names and pictures of 2,900 aircrew soldiers who served in air battles over Europe from 1944-1945. I served with that outfit, but my name (no little disappointment) does not appear in that list. Well, it does, but it doesn’t. It is misspelled. I don’t think I will read the book again.
