The Reich Wreckers - An Analysis of the 306th Bomb Group During World War II (Paperback)

This paper presents an analysis of the 306th Bomb Group's contributions during World War II. Rather than providing a simple recounting of the various dates and accomplishments, the paper analyzes some of the key indicators and statistics of the group's performance. In particular, the paper focuses on comparing aircraft losses and bombing results of the 306th with the Eighth Air Force's. The analysis also examined other areas, such as: mission aborts, enemy aircraft claimed destroyed, weather conditions over target, bombing methods used, presence of fighter escorts, and strength of enemy air defenses (enemy fighter aircraft and flak). The purpose of the analysis was to gain a better understanding of the group's overall performance within the bigger scope of the Eighth Air Force's war effort. The analysis was conducted in three steps. First, the archives of the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA) were searched for statistics on the 306th.
