Acknowledgment

After one year in operation and over 30,000 visitors, I would like to thank all those who have helped make this web site a success. First I would like to thank my father, Bud Anderson, for his help and support and for being the inspiration for the site. Second my brother in law, Pete Krueger, our web master, whose tireless efforts built this web site. I would also like to thank 357th FG member, author and historian, Merle Olmsted, who has provided the bulk of the photos and material for the site. Merle has been promoting the accomplishments of the 357th FG "Yoxford Boys" for more than 50 years!

Merle Olmsted

 We also wish to give special thanks to Photographer Earl Smith for providing his fantastic aerial photos and for putting together our free P-51 screen saver. 

There are many other people to thank, all of whom are important. I have listed them below and again thank them all for their support. This site would not be as special without their efforts.
