The December issue of Citizen Airman, official magazine of the Air Force Reserve, is available on the web at http://www.citamn.afrc.af.mil.

The issue features a story about Reservists from the 514th Air Mobility Wing at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J., traveling to France to retrieve the wreckage of a B-17 Flying Fortress. The aircraft, known as Chowhound, was shot down Aug. 8, 1944, by German anti-aircraft fire. Member of the 514th brought home pieces of the wreckage, which had been donated to the wing's active-duty counterpart, the 315th AMW.

Also in the magazine are stories about the Air Force Reserve unit at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark., recruiting new members, two flight nurses from McChord Field, Wash., who joined the Air Force Reserve to honor family members killed in Afghanistan and a story from the Air Force Reserve Command Tricare advisor on the pharmacy home delivery program.
