A new introduction on the background of this site has been added. It was thought that it would enable the visitors to the site to better understand the reason and purpose of why the site was developed. That page can be found [Here] We have started an additional new page (Stories From The Flight Line) It is hoped that past members will submit remembrances from duty at Westover, some humorous some not. That page can be found here.To start the ball rolling I have posted a personal happening that took place on Christmas Eve 1958, my first winter on the Westover Ramp. There is a change to the members page on the site. The page lists the names of those past members that have contacted us. We have listed their names, dates they were at Westover, and their Squadron affiliation. That page can be found here. You will note
that some of the names are in bold print. This indicates that the individual
has provided a photo and/or additional information regarding contact information. Just click on the name that is in bold print and a new page will open with this information. It is hoped that as new members are found a master contact list can be developed. I am currently working on a new page for the site (it's still being worked on but you can take a look here) examining the process of providing security for nuclear weapon convoys from Stony Brook to the up load area on the ramp at Westover. If anyone could provide me with some memories of this I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks. 6. A roster of the airmen who were assigned to the 814th APS from the 4050th Air Police Squadron has been posted on the "life At Westover" page. look under "The Year is 1956" 5. I'm still going through the huge packet of information that Bill Allen let me review for a few days. Bill went TDY twice and managed to save a very good record of his duty with the 814th. His records are the source of two items here on the Squadron Bulletin Board. I need a few mores days Bill. 4. Received a packet of information via email from Jack Donahue regarding the history and lineage of the 814th Combat Support Group. This information has been entered into the beginning narrative on the "Life at Westover" page.> It helped clear up the time line of when the 814th CDS was moved within the organizational structure of the different commands at Westover. A hot link to the PDF file is now on the page so visitors to the site can examine this information. Thanks Jack !! 3. Thanks to Bill Allen We now have solid proof that the 814th was moved from under the 814th Combat Support Group to the 99th Bomb Wing and redesignate the 99th Security Police Squadron some time within the first 5 months of 1968. Bill's Separations documents indicate he separated from the 99th Security Police Squadron under Special Order A-1260. What we need now are a copy of the orders that transferred all 814th Personnel over to the 99th. Can anyone help in this? 2. On the "who-we-protected" page, several new hot links have been added to the informational pages for the 57th Air Division and the 99th Bomb Wing. The 337th Fighter Interceptor Squadron has also been added to the growing list of the operational units that the 814th were tasked to protect. 1. The new location for the 814th [www.814thremembered.com] is now up and running on a separate server and can be reached [here] . It should provide faster service and space for the site to grow. Please remember to update your book marks to our new location. If you run across any errors at the new location, please contact us so we can find and correct them. 2. Several new imbedded pages have been added to the "Life At Westover" page. You can have some fun checking them out by clicking on the "hot" links. There is a great deal of information there, some rather interesting. For example, did everyone know that there was a 99th Air Refueling Wing at Westover? |
