Description
B17 Series
The Mighty 8th makes its mark.
Soon after arrival in the UK the B17 Squadrons of the USAAF 8th Air Force started daylight bombing missions over Europe. Despite heavy losses to both AA and fighter attacks the missions were pressed home, even when initially unescorted. The image shows early B17s of the 303rd BG based at Molesworth, Cambridgeshire delivering on the target in the brightest of daylight conditions.
