The activation of the 485th Bomb Group took place at the Fairmont, Nebraska Army Air Field in September 1943, from the original cadre which was actually assembled from the 29th Bomb Group, stationed at Gowen Field, Boise, Idaho. The group consisted of four squadrons - 828th, 829th, 830th and 831st.
The Museums of Szombathely: Two ruin areas evoke the Roman ancestor of Szombathely, Savaria in our town. You can see in the Járdányi Paulovics Garden, the garden of the Episcopal Palace, remnants of buildings of the Roman era: the mosaic of the reception room the Governor's Palace, the basement walls of the bath and shrines, which can only give an idea of the splendour of Savaria.
