Pubs, movie theaters, dance halls, family homes, around the base, the countryside, girls they knew . . . bikes took the men and women of the 2nd Air Division everywhere. In this short video you will see them biking around their bases.
Our father, Joseph G. Dzenowagis, was a navigator in the 467th Bomb Group; mom was a writer for a daily newspaper, The Lansing State Journal; son Joe and daughter Joan are video producers and videographers. We have interviewed hundreds of veterans and their British friends and acquired a large amount of archival videos for the 2nd Air Division 8th USAAF Collection.
Bike! was premiered by the American Library Memorial to the 2nd Air Division “Silver Wings” 80 anniversary celebration of Victory in Europe in September of 2025. Our Library’s once-in-a-lifetime 10-day series of events and displays in the Forum in Norwich and around the city drew thousands of people.
