Personal interviews with service personnel offer powerful insights into the realities of wartime life at RAF Mendlesham. Through these first-hand narratives, airmen share their experiences—from flying dangerous missions over Nazi-occupied Europe to the camaraderie and daily life on the base.
This page features interviews with personnel who served at Mendlesham, as well as links to extensive collections from the Veterans History Project (VHP) at US Library of Congress and other independent sources. These interviews provide a unique opportunity to hear directly from those who lived through this extraordinary chapter of history. Copyright to the each of these interviews resides with the veteran; please contact the Veterans History Project for more information about these interviews.
With thanks to Oliver Tunstall for bringing together this unique collection of voices linking us to the life and operations of the 34th Bomb Group
