| Hi!<br/> I'm a young french guy of 21 years old and I've bought a shirt on ebay.com with the name of Tim Hom.<br/> With several research I've found his unit  -&gt; 614th Bomb Squadron.<br/> I search other informations on him , maybe pictures or documents with his name mentionned. Do anyone know him?<br/> Maybe is he still alive?<br/> Thank you for your answers,<br/> Best regards,<br/> Bertrand<br/>

| Bertrand,<br/> <br/> I searched all names in the 614th BS and found no matching initials &quot;T & F&quot; and last name begining with an &quot;H&quot;.<br/> <br/> If I may ask what kind of shirt is it you purchased and it may be possible he was in support of the 613th BS and therefore not listed as combat crews.<br/> <br/> Don Byers<br/>

| Oh okay,<br/> Here is the patche of the shirt: [http://i41.tinypic.com/maxfyp.jpg<br/>] I think you're right in saying he was not in combat crew but that's sure he was in the 614th bomb squadron. I don't know the signification of the patche but certainly in radio operator on the ground.<br/> So , what could I do to have what I search?<br/> Thanks for your quick reply,<br/> Bertrand<br/>

| Here is his Nara file:<br/> <br/> [http://aad.archives.gov/aad/record-detail.jsp?dt=893&mtch=262&tf=F&q=Hom&bc=&rpp=50&pg=3&rid=7769505&rlst=7769499,7769505,7809992,7845027,7851902,7852184,7854142,7864491,7870860,7872988<br/>] <br/> Bertrand<br/>

| Ok I have asked for some help on this patch. Were their other patches on either shoulder other than 8th AAF's.  I believe he was in ground communications.  But being able to track farther tha what you have to the NARA file will be almost impossible.  I did some searching on the name and came up with nothing.  Will let you know of anything elses that comes up.<br/> <br/> Don<br/>

| Okay,<br/> A friend of mine said me he saw on a document &quot;US army - Embarkation personnel roster&quot; that Tim Hom was in 614th bomb squadron / 401st Bomb group with:<br/> -Major Darrs Albert,E<br/> -Captain Blumenthel Herman,B<br/> -Captain Hardesty Hiram,H<br/> -Hell George,T<br/> -Hamec Jr, Robert S<br/> -Herberg William,H<br/> -Homell,John G<br/> <br/> I've seen on your website the name of Blumenthel and it shows he was radio operator in 615th bomb squadron...<br/> But I didn't see anything about the other and especially Major Darrs.<br/>

| Hi Bertrand:<br/> <br/> None of the names you list are in the 1947 401st Bomb Group Directory. That post-War publication had the best information available at the time, but is known not not to be complete.<br/> <br/> The 401st's 'Blumenthal' is Gerald I. Blumenthal, a Radioman, but I believe he was a Group Radio Maintenance Facjljty man (and not an Air Crewman).<br/> <br/> I realize this conflicts with your embarkation information, but is it possible the '401st' you are looking for is the 401st 'Squadron' (and not the 401st Bomb Group)?<br/> <br/> Win Bryson<br/>

| '''Bertrand''' <br/>6/10/2009 3:42:38 PM 
| ho... I'm really sorry , I've made a big mistake.<br/> It is not Blumenthal who is mentionned but Hermann Blumenthel.<br/> Although , on the documend , It said 401st bomb group!<br/> Thanks,<br/> Bertrand<br/>

| Hi Bertrand: <br/> Please don't feel sorry. There are many reasons information may differ besides 'mistakes'.<br/> ...That's why we keep looking - To find the answers. Good hunting.<br/> Win<br/>
