Description
Built as the wartime home of the USAAF 453rd Bombardment Group, today Old Buckenham is still a working centre of aviation, and home to two museums and an award-winning airshow.
Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart was the first Operations Officer of Old Buckenham when it started life with its first and most important residents; the USAAF 453rd Bombardment Group.
The 453rd flew 259 missions in B-24 Liberators. They dropped 15,804 tonnes of bombs and in the process lost 58 aircraft. Most importantly 366 servicemen lost their lives serving from Old Buckenham.
