While researching information for the Tuskegee Airmen campaign, I ran across this site: http://paul.rutgers.edu/~mcgrew/wwii/usaf/html/Apr.42.html
I found it also helpful for the Bong-McGuire campaign missions I am building. All one needs to do to change months and years is contained in the last letters and numbers before the last html in the string.

It gives daily activities for each Theater of the war. Couple that information with the books about specific pilots and we know who is flying the aircraft mentioned in the records.
I was attempting to incorporate COL Neel Kearby's missions into the Bong and McGuire missions, along with perhaps MacDonald and Lynch. The 5th USAAF in Southwest Pacific Theater just flew too many missions for me to incorporate all of the outstanding missions contained in that time period within that area of WW II, DAILY. Couple those with the missions mentioned that Australian forces were involved in and it just becomes a monumental task to give all of those heroes their due.
So, bottom line; I am back to only Bong and McGuire right now. I will finish them up and upload them and then come back in and get Neel Kearby's missions before I head back to ETO.
