A closeup look into the crews and planes that flew on December 20, 1942 as part of the 306th Bomb Group.
This is Episode 3 of the ongoing saga of Meat Hound and his friends. These are stories of WW2 B-17 bombers and their crews from 1942 to 1944 that were assigned to the squadrons of the 306th Bomb Group in Thurleigh, England. One of the B-17s in this group was named Meat Hound and one of Meat Hound’s pilots was my uncle. These are stories of the men and planes who were the pioneers of the Allied strategic bombing campaign that eventually brought the Nazi war machine to a grinding halt. Thank you for joining me on this adventure and enjoy.
