Just how do you put hundreds of B17 Flying Fortresses into the sky, send them on a bombing mission over occupied Europe – and then bring them home again?
In this episode, we find out during a visit to USAAF Station 153 (Framlingham) – home to the 390th Bomb Group during World War Two.
We visit the Control Tower – home to Parham Airfield Museum, which commemorates the 390th and other Allied airmen based throughout East Anglia.
We discuss the mission procedure – from the sending out of the initial Field Order to the formation of a protective bomb group – or Combat Box – of aircraft in the sky.
We do so with the help of the museum’s rare collection of recovered aircraft engines, artefacts and memorabilia.
We visit the museum Nissen Hut, which houses a recreated barrack room, showing how the airmen lived.
Archivist Jennie Smith explains the museum’s Faces of the Fallen project.
And we pay our respects in the Chapel Room which houses a Veterans Wall, where returning airmen from the 390th have signed their names.
