History of the 313th Bomb Group

• 6th Bomb Group
  
  The 6th Bombardment Group site is dedicated to William Santavicca, a member of the 6th Bomb Group, 39th Bomb Squadron, 313th Bomb Wing, located on Tinian in 1945. Bill was the first B-29 veteran to trust me with his photographs and his stories when I first started the site way back in 1995 and has given me most of the information for these 6th Bomb Group pages. I would also like to give a special thanks to Joseph Majeski, also of the 6th Bomb Group, 40th Squadron, 313th Bombardment Wing, for loaning me some valuable books from which I have taken photographs and information.
