The 323rd Bomb Squadron

Each time the giant B17s lifted off from the tarmac at Bassingbourn, their crews left behind the cool morning mists and emerald green hillsides of England and flew into the boiling cauldron that was the sky over Nazi Germany. Numbing cold. Bursting flak. Fighters screaming in from above, bellow, and on all sides.

For the aircrews of the Flying Fortresses, every mission was dangerous, every flight a test of endurance and will. All started the same. It was the ending that was always in question.

Almost 60 years ago, Steve Perri flew with the 323rd Bomb Squadron, curled into a ball turret under the fuselage of the Delta Rebel. He created this website as a memorial to his comrades from AF Station 121 in Bassingbourn, England from 1942 - 1945.

The site is also meant to be an accurate and reliable historical record of the events that took place in the skies above Europe during WWII.
