History of the Pathfinders during 1941-45:

     The USAPA is attempting to collect Pathfinder history from this era.  The  information we have collected to date will be posted here soon.  As a vital part of our efforts in preserving the Pathfinder's history, we kindly ask anyone with information to share, to please contact us so that we may hopefully contribute to the collection of information sent in by others.
