IMAGEThis is a page from the Station Magazine at Martlesham Heath - USAAF Station F-369 - 356th Fighter Group. It is a record of a random tour of the base by the reporter. He visits 8 of the units operational on the airfield and introduces individuals from them. My personal interest is the Fire Fighting Platoon (2122nd ENGINEER (AVN) FIRE FIGHTING PLATOON) My Father was a Fireman AFS 1938 through to 1967 as an UK Air Ministry Fireman at RAF Pershore, The article gives their CO as Edward F. Etzel , who took the command on 19 July 1944 and the Fire Chief as Rufus A. Maxfield who was still at the base in October 1944, so this gives an "about" for the writing of the article ??
