This page will link to various years of unit history for the 184th.  These were obtained from The National Archives in Washington, DC with the help of Randy Maiville who is the Historian for the International Birddog Association.  The IBDA (click here to view that web page) has been instrumental in the preservation of the Birddog.  These histories tell the story of the 184th RAC and we are privileged to have them.
