I can't believe I didn't post this immediately!
The 2nd Air Division Memorial Library launched their Digital Archive last month. I was able to attend the launch event, along with many other very interested parties. This is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in our subject. The collection consists of over 30,000 documents, including letters, photographs and memoirs. Enjoy!
