The 6th Bomb Group Association was formed by Officers and enlisted men of the Army Air Corp 6th Bomb Group to annually reunite its veterans who served during WW2 in the Pacific War of 1944-1945. Now, we connect members of this organization, create educational materials, and provide a Scholarship Fund for the education of descendants of the 6th Bomb Group.

The Group was based on the island of Tinian during WWII and participated in the war effort against Japan during 1944-45. They were a part of the bombing campaign that finally brought an end to the war. Although many lives were lost – on both sides – these efforts saved the millions of lives that would have been lost in an invasion of the mainland. While originally formed to connect participants of this campaign, the 6th Bomb Group soon evolved to include their multi-generational families yearning to learn and preserve its history and veteran war experiences. While the number of veterans has diminished, the Association has remained vibrant and committed to accurately preserving the rich history and lessons of the war and making that history through our archive readily available to future generations. IF you would like to support our efforts, please consider donating. Or, if you were a member of this campaign, please get in contact with us.

The 6th Bomb Group was the most celebrated of the bomb groups and most feared by the Japanese people. The super-secret Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, flew as a 6th Bomb Group airplane (Circle R tail marking). Our site includes two very special custom videos that tell the story of the B-29 bombing experience and super-secret atomic bomb missions.
