Welcome to the Mighty 8th Podcast – the podcast about the people, planes and places of the United States Eighth Army Air Force.
In this very first episode, we visit Grafton Underwood – where B-17 bombers took to the skies for the very first America-led mission over occupied Europe in World War Two.
The first American-led mission using USAAF Flying Fortresses targeted the railway marshalling yards at Sotteville-lès-Rouen, France, on August 17, 1942.
We stand in the middle of what was runway Number One at Grafton Underwood airfield – where a granite memorial remembers those who flew on the raids that followed.
We visit Grafton Underwood church – where a stained glass window depicts a Flying Fortress bomber in memory of everyone who served.
And we take a walk to the airfield operations room to discuss the different bombing strategies employed by RAF Bomber Command and the United States Army Air Force.

Co-hosted by Johann Tasker and military historian Mike Peters. With thanks to Neill Howarth.
