The 306th Bomb Group (H) in World War II

Beginnings at Salt Lake Air Base with four aircraft, three old B-18s and an A-7, while later building a bomb group at Wendover, Utah.

Overseas over the North Atlantic route and on the Queen Elizabeth bound for England.

The 306th Bomb Group–the basis for the movie 12 O’Clock High and the first group to take the war to the German homeland.

Land Army girls, marriage, and life in East Anglia during the war.

Combat in the early days, heavy losses, falling morale, and the high cost of victory.

1944–the air war begins to turn in the Allies’ favor as the 306th leaves behind the costly early Berlin and Schweinfurt raids and D-Day.

“They were a bit brash, a bit noisy and had too much money. But then we also thought that they were very lonely, and they were someone elses’ brothers and most of us, had brothers who were away in the service, so good manners taught you to be at least friendly with them.”
