Home of the USAAF 34th Bomb Group
The Mendlesham Airfield Association (MAA) was reconstituted in 2024 to create a 34th Bomb Group Exhibition with the artefacts, photos and documents originally displayed in the Fleece Pub, Mendlesham. The exhibition can be viewed in the ‘Old Ticket Office’ at the Middy Railway Museum during opening hours throughout the season.
This site contains highlights from the exhibition and links to many other resources relating to the airfield and the 34th Bomb Group.
The exhibition stands as a tribute to the extraordinary valour and steadfast commitment of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) airmen. These brave individuals risked their lives in the face of immense danger during World War II to defeat tyranny and secure peace for the world. The exhibition not only commemorates their heroic efforts but also educates visitors about the crucial role these airmen played in shaping the course of history.
