The 381st Bombardment Group in World War II
Ron Mackay. In June 1943, the quiet English countryside around the village of Ridgewell was transformed by the arrival of the 381st Bomb Group with its B-17 Flying Fortresses. The subsequent battle in the skies over Europe witnessed the 381st, in concert with their fellow airmen of the Mighty Eighth, striking 297 times at Hitler's "Fortress Europe." Here is the story of that 1,000 day fiercely contested struggle. 240 pgs., 350+ photos, 8½"x 11", hdbd. #0005289
