A TRIBUTE TO THE MEN OF THE MIGHTY EIGHTH
FORTRESS AT REST
By Richard Taylor
Temporarily grounded by deep overnight snow, a B-17G Flying Fortressfrom the 398th Bomb Group stands quietly near the constantly patrolled perimeterof RAF Nuthampstead during the winter of 1944.
The bomber crews of the US Eighth Air Force rightfullyearned their place in aviation history through heroism and devotion to duty,becoming one of the most highly decorated organizations of WWII with 17 Medalof Honor recipients and 66 Distinguished Unit Citation awards. But, with almost6,000 heavy bombers lost, the cost of victory had come at an enormous price –only one in three airmen had survived the air battle over Europe.
