This book captures the story of "Witchcraft," a B-24 Liberator,
based in Rackheath, England, toward the end of World War II, that
had a unique record in the 8th Army Air Force of flying 130
credited missions without aborting.This is a sequel to author Perry
Watts' 2006 book (also published by Schiffer) on the 467th Heavy
Bombardment Group, which sets this Liberator in context. In this
book, Watts starts with Witchcraft's creation in the then-largest
factory in the world in Michigan, then chronicles its transit like
many Liberators to the UK via Brazil and Africa. The narrative
provides detailed stories of Witchcraft's often hazardous missions
with its Group over occupied Europe and during the battle for
Germany 1944-5. This is a special testimony to why and how the B-24
played a key role in the World War II liberation of occupied
Europe.
