MIGHTY 8TH - BAPTISM OF FIRE (Part 2)
Manage episode 398416334 series 2497611
“Day bombing is the bold, the aggressive, the offensive thing to do.
“It is the method and the practice which will put the greatest pressure on Germany, work the greatest havoc to his wartime industry and the greatest reduction to this air force.”
General Ira Eaker was determined for his USAAF to bomb Germany during the day and specifically industrial targets.
Why did he disagree with Bomber Harris - and would the benefit of bombing factories outweigh the growing butcher’s bill of American pilots?
In a new epic seven-part series inspired by the release of ‘Masters Of The Air’ on AppleTV, Al Murray and James Holland tell the true story of the Mighty 8th - one of the most courageous units in the USAAF.
