Oral history

Hi all, I am a PhD student at Ohio University working on my dissertation focused on the Pacific War strategic bombing campaign against Japan. I am in search of 2-3 WWII bomber pilots to interview. I know there is an abundance of oral testimonies online that have been digitized. While I do plan to utilize those, I am seeking 2-3 to meet and interview in person. I have tried about every avenue and contacted numerous museums and archives, and each time it led to a dead end. Hopefully someone on here can assist.
