MikeC Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Today is the 70th anniversary of the first Bomber operation by the Mighty Eighth, when 18 B-17s of the 97th BG were dispatched to Rouen-Souetteville and other secondary targets. Casualties were light with two aircraft sustaining superficial damage. One of the pilots on the mission was one major Paul W Tibbetts, later to achieve fame halfway across the world less than three years later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
