The 95th Bomb Group (Heavy), the most highly decorated bomb group of World War II, participated in every major mission of the war in Europe from May 1943 through the war’s end and was awarded an unprecedented three Presidential Unit Citations. Flying the celebrated B-17 Flying Fortress, the 95th was the first U.S. bomb group to bomb Berlin―a feat that put it on the centerfold of Life magazine―and the last group to lose a plane over Europe in World War II. Over six hundred men in the 95th never came home.
