Search for veterans that served in the CBI theater. It is unfortunate that many documents of the CBI specifically both General Orders and Special Orders do not include the group number to which the servicemen were assigned. Many of these groups moved their commands or sub-units between the 10th Air Force and the other theater commands. So with this in mind we have placed our database of all veterans of the CBI on our cbihistory.org website.
