This image commemorates one of the most important missions of World War II. Tidal Wave was the code name for the town of Ploesti in Romania, which supplied approximately one third of all the Nazis' fuel oil. On the first of August, 1943, then-General Leon Johnson's aircraft, a B-24D of the 67th bomb squadron, 44th bomb group, took off on “Operation Soapsuds” to pound the Ploesti installations. For his actions that day, Colonel Johnson received a Medal of Honor. - WP
