Target: Berlin. It was March 6, 1944 and B-17s and B-24s of the Mighty 8th Air Force’s 1st , 2nd and 3rd Air Divisions streamed in a ninety-sour-mile wave to attack Berlin. Among the massed bombers, the 100th Bomb Group (H) manned 20 B-17s flying at 21,000 feet, 200 miles west of Berlin. There, twenty-one FW-190s bored in with deadly accuracy, downing fifteen Flying Fortresses into the fields below. Half of the crewmembers aboard the fallen bombers perished; the rest were imprisoned. - WP
