Message from the Director
New England Air Museum
by Jerry Roberts
Dear Veterans, Family and Friends As we begin the work of taking the New England Air Museum to the next
level, I am inspired by our incredible collection of artifacts and aircraft and
the human stories behind them. Of course the B-29 looms large in all of these
plans.
The 58th Bomb Wing has been an amazing partner in restoring and displaying
this incredible aircraft and telling the human story of the 58th to the public.
We now plan to expand and enhance this experience by activating the
mezzanine level of the hangar so that we can tell some of the other amazing
B-29 stories including how this aircraft served on into the Cold War and
Korean War and helped establish the concept of the Strategic Air Command.
We will be working hard to raise the funds needed to install a handicapped
elevator so that wheelchair bound veterans and their families, as well as
physically challenged school children, can get the amazing view of Jack‟s
Hack from the mezzanine level and experience new exhibits from this elevated perspective.
We hope that you will stay involved as we reinvent the museum‟s visitor experience to keep us relevant and
dynamic as we move into the future and attract a new generation of potential aviation enthusiasts.
Jerry P. Roberts
Executive Director
ANNOUNCING THE 2015 REUNION!
The next Reunion of the 58th Bomb Wing will take place at the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks,
Conn., home of the 58th Bomb Wing Memorial. The dates are May 15-17, 2015. We have made arrangements with Courtyard Marriott in Windsor, Conn. for $95 plus taxes per night. A shuttle service is available
from Bradley Int‟l Airport.
Registration packets are available by contacting Debbie Reed, Assistant Director of the New England Air
Museum at 860-623-3305 ext. 314 or debbier@neam.org or on our website www.neam.org. The only plan
this year will be at the Memorial here at the Air Museum on Saturday, May 16th. We will spend the day
around the B-29 with memorabilia and visits to the archives followed by dinner and a memorial service. We
are looking forward to seeing you!

Report of the 58th Bomb Wing (VH) Archives
By Patrick Sidley
The first task after assuming the responsibility for the archive last summer was to develop an inventory of the
artifacts in the collection, and to physically organize the collection in the archive room. There are four major
types of artifacts; books and magazines, photographs, objects, and items related to the past reunions. I
decided to start with the books and magazines since that was an area I was familiar with. Now I‟m pleased
to report that almost all the books and most of the magazines have been inventoried and are shelved, by
author, in the archive room. At present we have about 450 books. In addition we have a complete set of
ex-CBI Roundup magazines from July 1953 (Vol. 7, No. 4). The next task is inventorying and organizing
the photographs and objects. Since photos have a way of appearing in unlikely places, it‟s hard accurately
state how much progress has been made, however I‟ve found and filed a great many in the last few months.
The bulk of our photos are either crew photos, nose art, or daily life on and off base. I would particularly
like to increase the number of identified crew photos as well as photos of the men serving in support roles.
I‟ve deferred addressing the reunion pictures until I‟ve created some work space to spread things out.
In 2014 we received several donations of items from 58th veterans or their families as well as from friends of
the Museum. Notable among the donations were the papers and artifacts of John Roman, the former
Treasurer (?) of the Association. A friend from upstate New York drove to the Museum and gave us a casing
from an M-47 incendiary bomb which is currently being repainted in the correct markings and will be hung
in the front bomb bay of “Jack‟s Hack”. Gifts of any 58th or B-29 items are always welcome but published
or unpublished memoirs improve our ability preserve the memories of the men who served in the 58th.
In December another NEAM Volunteer, Joe Fox, offered to assist in the archive. In 2015 Joe and I plan to
continue the process of organizing and inventorying the collection. Along with the NEAM‟s new Executive
Director we will be looking for new ways to tell the visitors the story of the 58th Bomb Wing and the B-29.
Thanks to you all for the opportunity to assist with this treasure trove of information about the 58 th Bomb
Wing. I am genuinely enjoying my work here. Your support makes this archive and memorial possible, and
the entire team of staff and volunteers at NEAM is honored to be charged with this responsibility.
If you plan a visit to New England, please let me know and I‟d be glad to give you a personal tour of the
archive and “Jack‟s Hack”. I can be reached by email at fifty8th@neam.org or you can leave me a phone
message at (860) 623-3305. Or just send me a good old-fashioned letter!
Do You Know This Man?
This sketch was found in the 58th Bomb Wing Archive with
some other artifacts donated by 40th Bomb Group veteran
Bob Lyons. It appears to be sighed by “Squire Casseler”
and dated 1948. However, Bob‟s note
indicated he didn‟t know who this was. If you can identify
this person, or know who it might be, please contact Pat
Sidley at fifty8th@neam.org or by writing him at the
Museum.

“What is Radar.” It was explained to me and I was also
told that upon completion of my training I would be

formed and training was continued as a crew.

Ravens in India?
Radar counter-measures in the 58th
While the term Radar Counter-measures (RCM) conjures up images of Air Force EF-111s or Navy EA-6Bs, in
fact RCM was a part of life for the crews of the 58th from the time they arrived in India. Each squadron was
assigned one “Raven” officer and five enlisted technicians. Since not every aircraft carried RCM gear, the
Raven was not part of an assigned crew, but flew missions with various crews when the equipment was
installed on their Aircraft. The techs were responsible for the maintenance of the equipment and moving it
between aircraft. They worked in the RADAR AND RAVEN building. The actual Radar technicians used a
separate part of the building from the RCM. Within the aircraft the Raven was given a position just forward of
the Radar Operator in the rear compartment. The information and photos were provided by Melvin Rosenfeld,
the Raven for the 770th Bomb Squadron of the 462nd Group. He went overseas with the 462nd in April, 1944,
and flew combat and hump missions until November when he was ordered back to the States. Unfortunately
there is little other information in the Archive regarding this function or the installation of RCM equipment on
the B-29. More information would be very welcome.
