Colonel
Budd Peaslee’s B-17 Equipose, flown by lead pilot Kemp
Maclaughlin, leading the Fortresses of the 92nd Bomb Group en-route
to the vital ballbearing factories at Schweinfurt. High over Germany,
beyond the range of Allied fighter cover, the unprotected B-17s come
under relentless attack from enemy fighters. Losses are high. Undeterred,
the valiant crews press on to the target, their relentless determination
and courage on that “Black Thursday” forever etched into
aviation folk lore. |
