The individuals who comprised the 394th Bomb Group distinguished themselves unfailingly.
Book Description
Bridge Busters is the authentic and gripping story of the 394th Bomb Group. The outstanding and valiant struggle of the Bridge Busters is told with grit, compassion and an attention to detail. Each of the 9 chapters is packed with pertinent pictures and a recap by target and results of each major battle. This beautifully bound 170 page edition contains over 360 fully captioned, action-packed photographs and 20 illustrations. From the activation of the 394th in the United States to its deactivation in Germany after V.E. Day, Bridge Busters presents accurate facts and figures on the missions, from the Washington files, as well as interesting stories about the men on the ground and in the air who made them possible. This newly revised fifth edition includes the official U.S. Air Force report on the final mission of Colonel Thomas B. Hall who was killed over North Korea on February 11, 1951, a complete list of casualties as well as two new chapters with 17 current photographs that feature the return trip of 18 former members of the 394th Bomb Group to Europe in the summer of 2001 and a tribute to those service men fallen and buried in World War II cemeteries in Europe.
