A MILK RUN
Summer 1943, the United States Eighth Army Air Force is
gaining confidence. Its complement is now up to 13 Heavy
Bomber Groups and 3 Fighter Groups. Its commander,
General Ira Eaker, is beginning to weld it into a fighting
force capable of wresting control of the airspace over
occupied Europe. Today, the assigned target is a
factory in Northern France at Lille, making aircraft
parts for Messerschmidts. An easy mission...But the pilots
of the Jagdflieger are equally determined to send these
upstart Yankees home with their tails between their legs...
