Although Wisconsin’s Chapter of the Eighth Air Force Historical Society is one of the largest and oldest chapters in the nation, it is completely
volunteer and needs  help!

In the words of one of its 93 year old 8th Air Force vets, “I always wanted to go to the national convention, but just couldn’t come up with the funds, if
there is a way to get me there I would be eternally grateful!”

The Wisconsin Chapter, 8th Air Force Historical Society  meets  quarterly in April,  June, September and December at the 128th Air Refueling Wing.

The group was formed 21 years ago and consists solely of  volunteers supporting veterans of all military branches in  Wisconsin and Illinois.
