Field ambulances standby as B-24 Liberators of the 44th Bomb Group line up for takeoff at Shipdham in Norfolk.

Civilian contractors in their familiar flat caps resurface the perimeter track at Shipdham airfield – AAF Station 115 – in Norfolk in June 1943.

The B-24s in the background, along with the rest of the 44th Bomb Group, would be deployed to Libya by the end of that month.

There was no formal type of signage at Eighth Air Force bases, giving graphic designers a chance to shine.

Shipdham (AAF-115) in Norfolk, England, briefly hosted a B-26 unit bound for North Africa before becoming home to B-24 Liberators of the 44th Bomb Group in October 1942.

These 68th Bomb Squadron, 44th Bomb Group groundcrew at Shipdham, Norfolk, seem full of humour and mischief, and could even be a film or TV cast.

Third from left, back, is assistant crew chief Sergeant Emil Ukens, whose son Don provided the photo. The 44th BG flew B-24s.
