WWII's 16th Photo Tech: A Project. By Theresa Everline. 
Theresa, I e-mailed you earlier about my father being a part of Blue Train. I usually have access to my Blue Train book, but put it away during Christmas. I thought the 16th photo tech unit sounded familiar. I do see my father’s name on this list. It is William H. Higdon. Contact me at your convenience. Thanks!

I just found your website! My dad was William Crow of Gilmer, TX. It is William, not Willian. I have a Blue Train book. My dad passed away in 1995, but I have always wondered if any of the others are still around and if there is more information out there about their time there. I would love to take the book with me to Europe and retrace the Blue Train’s journey one day. My email is jkcoomes@verizon.net.

my wifes uncle-delos erickson was a member of the 16th. We have never heard of the Blue Train book. We have pictures taken in France and some of them are of churchhill and eseinhower. Please forgive my spelling. …………

Judy, I’m interested in seeing the picture! Would you be able to e-mail it to me? I can also give you a call if you’d like. Thanks! Joy

My father-in-law was Norman P Sterner. He passed away in 2003. He was the 16th’s supply sergeant.

Hello, I am an officer assigned to the 566th Intelligence Squadron (legacy squadron of the 16th Photographic Squadron) and I have been tasked with researching and building our squadron history. I would love to speak to any family members (or better yet, a surviving member) of those men listed above. Morale and pride within our squadron has diminished over time, and I am attempting to instill in our young Airmen the sense of military pride and accomplishment our squadron has gained over the years. You may contact me at joshua.reagan.5@us.af.mil. Thank you.
