United States Air Force Story Archive

The United States Air Force and Army Air Corps Story Archive preserves the experiences of Norwood residents who served in the skies and supported America’s military aviation missions. From the pioneering days of the Army Air Corps and the Army Air Forces during World War II to the establishment of the United States Air Force in 1947 and beyond, these stories reflect the courage, innovation, and dedication of local men and women who served their country through air power.

This archive features photographs, documents, newspaper articles, military records, mission histories, and personal recollections that help tell the stories of Norwood’s airmen. Whether serving as pilots, navigators, mechanics, crew members, or support personnel, their contributions played an important role in some of the most significant events in modern military history.

If you or a family member served in the Army Air Corps, Army Air Forces, or the United States Air Force, or if you have photographs, letters, documents, memories, or other materials related to a Norwood airman, we invite you to share them with the Norwood Historical Society. Community contributions help preserve these stories and ensure that the service, achievements, and sacrifices of Norwood’s aviation veterans continue to be remembered and honored for generations to come.
