100th Bomb Group: The Story of the REAL Masters of the Air

During World War II, the 100th Bomb Group of the 8th Air Force suffered some of the heaviest losses of any unit, of any service branch, in any theater of the war. A few hours into their first mission, they had lost 3 B-17 Flying Fortresses and 30 men. After only four months, 77 percent of the original group became casualties of war. And as they continued to fly missions over some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany, the losses kept coming. And these losses would earn the unit it’s ominous nickname, the Bloody Hundredth. Now a mini-series titled, "Masters of the Air," this is their story.
