In the early days of the air war against Germany, the 306th Bomb Group delivered the first bomb loads into the heart of the German homeland. Faced with terrible losses and limited resources, the 306th helped prove the visibility of high altitude daylight precision bombing. This documentary explores the bomb group's early training history in the United States and includes a dramatic look at the combat work performed by the aircrews in the air over occupied europe and the extraordinary support provided by the base ground crews around the clock. Today the 306th Museum on the old base keeps the spirit of the wartime drama at Thurleigh alive. Produced by Dr. Vernon L. Williams.
