Radioactive 26Al, ejected by massive stars through winds and supernova explosions, leads to γ-ray line emission that can serve as a probe of the interstellar environment in and near young star clusters. The ~ 1 Myr decay time of 26Al is long enough to allow transport over significant distances, which can cause substantial angular offsets between γ-ray emission and cluster stars. Details of such offsets are determined by the morphology of the ISM. We discuss observations in Cygnus and Orion, and models based on population synthesis methods.
