In this episode, we tell the story of the first American daylight bombing raid over Berlin on March 4, 1944.
The mission was led by the 95th Bomb Group – the only Eighth Air Force Bomb Group to receive the Distinguished Unit Citation three times.
We visit the Red Feather Club at Horham in Suffolk – including the Blue Lounge dance hall, Brad’s Bar and the 95th Bomb Group museum.
We find out why the 95th Bomb Group pushed ahead with the Berlin raid – despite a recall order which saw other planes turn back.
And we discuss the strategy behind the mission – and how it helped the Allies achieve air supremacy, paving the way for D-Day three months later.
