The M in parentheses is for Medium (Medium Bombardment Group). Numerous photographs, personal experiences, and historical data that document the history were provided by members of the 386th Bomb Group Association, Inc. The first edition of this book was published in 1987, though the history was written and printed at the close of World War II at a printing plant in St. Trond, Belgium, which had been closed during Nazi occupation. This second edition includes an Epilogue, which brings the history of the group up to 1990. Laid in at the front of the book are several copies of pages and articles related to the book, including a UNA Hawaii newsletter that features the 555th member who inscribed the book (Chris Zivalich). .
