Schweinfurt - The Second Mission
Schweinfurt edition

by Robert Taylor


Colonel Budd Peaslee’s B-17 Equipose leading the Fortresses of the 92nd Bomb Group en-route to the vital ball bearing factories at Schweinfurt. High over Germany, beyond the range of Allied fighter cover, the unprotected B-17s fight off savage attacks from enemy fighters. Losses are high, but undeterred, the valiant crews press on to the target, their relentless determination and courage on that “Black Thursday” forever etched into aviation folk lore. 
Signed by ten crew members who flew on the second Schweinfurt mission, including the mission command pilot.
