December 31st., 1944. B-17 Flying Fortresses of the 'Bloody Hundredth' attack an oil refinery near Hamburg while under attack from Me262's, 109's and Fw 190's.
The enemy fighters had been vectored to the scene by a captured B?-17 flown by the Germans, who monitored the bomber stream, reporting height, speed and heading.
The Hundredth lost 12 planes this day, but they had destroyed their target and then thundered home with an abiding faith in their fellow crew members
and their formidable Fortresses.
The 100th Bomb Group lost 12 planes on this mission.
