B-17's of the 91st. Bomb Group come under attack from Me 109's
over Germany. The 91st. were first over the Ruhr Valley to Hamm,
and led both Schweinfurt missions in 1943.
They received credit for shooting down more enemy aircraft then
any other group in the Eight Air Force, and suffered the highest
overall loss rate of any B-17 group, with only 12% of original
crews surviving the war. The B-17s portrayed here are Nine-0-Nine,
The Wild Hare and General Ike.
This edition commemorates the 60th anniversary of the 91st Bomb
Group.
Signed by thirteen aircrew who flew with the 91st.
