Black Thursday

Thursday, October 14, 1943, two hundred and ninety one B-17 Flying Fortresses set out for a strategic bombing raid on the factories in Schweinfurt.
Sixty of those planes never returned and six hundred and fifty men were lost during the course of that mission.

It was the greatest failure that the United States Air Force had ever suffered and became known as “Black Thursday”.
"Black Thursday: The Story of the Schweinfurt Raid" is a brilliant account of that day that should never be forgotten.
