The Men, The Missions, The Stories

Every time a B-17 flew a mission, the life stories of 10 men were changed irrevocably. They set out to do the job they had to do. Some returned. Many did not. All were heroes.

In the early part of the campaign in the skies over Germany, the mortality rate for bomber crews was about 85%. No other branch of the service regularly faced such overwhelming odds against survival. Through the words of the survivors, we hope to remember the departed. The stories of the brave men of the 323rd Bomb Squadron will live on in this website long after the last of the storytellers has gone.
