Classic AAF black-and-white film footage of the 446th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force on a mission over Europe. Feel the anticipation as a sky full of B-24s advances relentlessly toward its target. Contrails scrawl across a busy sky in the deep blue view from high altitude. It's easy to imagine a combat cameraman wielding a spring-wound Bell and Howell 16mm Filmo movie camera to get these candid views.  As you watch these brief scenes, think about the brave B-24 crews who wrote a unique chapter in the annals of strategic air warfare.  We plan more segments from this film shoot; we hope you have subscribed to the Airailimages Channel on YouTube.  Thanks!
