ROSTER IN PROGRESS

Thanks to the hard work of Jack Gibson, grandson of the late Edward Mzyk of the 835th Aviation Battalion of the Army Corps of Engineers, we are developing a Roster of last known addresses and telephone numbers of men in the 835th. You can look at this work-in-progress by clicking here.

Clicking above will open a document in Adobe Acrobat format which you can read or print out. If you don't have the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer [although almost everybody does], you can get it FREE at www.adobe.com.

If you can fill in any of the gaps in our information, or give us information about others [even if only names], please do! You can send an e-mail by clicking here.

Thank you!

I Have been writing a book on the Military history of my family and would like to include a section on my step father. I remeber him telling me about training in the desert of California, and going to Cairo Eygypt, (I have a banner made in Cairo that is emblazoned with the 835th). He described the B-24s that returned to the Benghazi Libya airfield after thee Ploesti raid. He talked some about his service in Naples. Unfortunately I was only a small boy and didn't take notes. I would like to know anything about the unit or induviduals that your readers could provide. Also, I would like to have a complete roster; the one availble seems to go only to the D's.
