Description
The 95th Bomb Group (H) achieved fame as the first unit to strike Berlin in a daylight raid and as the only combat group in Europe to win three Presidential Distinguished Unit Citations for courage and daring. B-17s Over Berlin is a unique compilation of vivid personal tales of the legendary 95th, told by the surviving crewmen themselves and the English villagers who knew them. Crashes, captures, thrilling escapes - these are the true stories of the furious air combat over Germany, Norway, and Poland that helped turn the tide of World War II.
