This book
In June 1943 the quiet English countryside around the village of Ridgewell in northwest Essex
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 with the “Mighty Eighth”, striking 297 times at
Hitler’s ‘Fortress Europe’ and dropping over 22,000 tons of bombs in the process.
The cost to the group was 131 aircraft and over 1200 combat crew missing in action,
sustained during the course of a fiercely contested struggle that stretched for
over one thousand days.
