Description
The 25th Bomb Group (Rcn) in World War II By Norman Malayney In August 1944, the USAAF established an independent organization within the 8th AF to address its lack of technical expertise in photo reconnaissance. The result was the formation of the 25th Bomb Group at Watton, England. The 25th BG played a crucial role in gathering meteorological data and observations over Europe. Its squadrons operated a range of aircraft, including B-17/B-24s and Mosquitoes, to gather intelligence and conduct reconnaissance missions. These efforts supported the OSS's development of communication programs with agents deep inside enemy territory. This book provides an in-depth look at the 25th Bomb Group's operations during World War II, shedding light on its unique role in the war effort.
