In this episode, we tell the story of the first American daylight bombing raid over Berlin, which took place on March 4, 1944.
The mission was led by the 95th Bomb Group – the only Eighth Air Force Bomb Group to receive the Distinguished Unit Citation three times.
We visit the Red Feather Club at Horham in Suffolk – including the Blue Lounge dance hall, Brad's Bar and the 95th Bomb Group museum.
We find out why the 95th Bomb Group pushed ahead with the Berlin raid – despite a recall order which saw other planes turn back.
And we discuss the strategy behind the mission – and how it helped the Allies achieve air supremacy, paving the way for D-Day three months later.
