About Us

307th Bombardment Group (Heavy) Association

The 307th Bombardment Group (HV) Association, Inc., The Long Rangers grew out of the initial meeting of  307th Bomb Group veterans  who got together in the spirit of fellowship and camaraderie in Reno, Nevada on September 11-12, 1972. Our goal and hope was for continued growth and expanded interest in the Nation’s finest heroes. The members attending the initial meeting were: Carl Whitesell, Dan Cauffiel, George Jaffe, Ed Jurkens, M. P. Nelson, Arthur Downs, and C. Scott.

Our organization has grown and we have expanded to include the descendants of our 307th Bomb Group veterans. Our hope is to insure that future generations never forget the sacrifices that these men made for us and our country. Every year we hold a reunion in a different part of the country and have a great time reminiscing and catching up with old and new friends.
