| The Berlin Bombing Mission The Berlin Bombing Mission Flown by The 8th Air Force on April 29, 1944  The Kamenitsa plane shortly after its crash. The white object was Sgt Guillot's parachute, which he was planning to use to burn the plane. That scheme was abandoned when a quick head count showed three men were missing, presumably still in the wreckage. (Photo from Enrico Schwartz) This story was an interesting read. I found it when I was doing an image search on Google for something totally unrelated. This image is what drew me in. Follow this link to read the story... | |||||||||||||
