WWII is a war predominantly no longer remembered within living memory. This project provides a final opportunity to collect and preserve the untold and forgotten stories of the British civilians and American servicemen and women who were thrown together in the war. Silver Wings asks locals to share their memories, experiences and family stories of WWII, alongside the USAAF veterans’ tales of being stationed in Norfolk. There will be a 10-day free exhibition and event series at The Forum, supported by a lead-up programme of community, young people and schools’ participation.
For anybody who wants to share stories of the US Army Air Forces in Norfolk during WWII, please contact [email protected]
Silver Wings is presented by The Forum in partnership with the American Library, Memorial to the 2nd Air Division, 8th Air Force, United States Army Air Forces.
