As the sun slowly begins to rise this wintry morning over
Thorpe Abbots, Norfolk, ground crew prepare B-17G The All
American Girl in an almost surreal setting, for her 99th
mission over enemy territory. On 10th January 1945, 19-year-old
pilot, 1st Lt. John Dodrill and his crew went missing on a combat
sortie to Cologne. Like many other crews, they made the ultimate
sacrifice in the fight for freedom, with the Bloody 100th
Bombardment Group playing its full part with courage and honour.
