The 44th Bomb Group, which flew the B-24 Liberator, was the pioneer
unit for what evolved from the Mighty Eighth's 2nd Bomb Wing into a
full-scale Bomb (and later Air) Division. The Group amassed an
impressive 343 missions and won two Distinguished Unit Citations
between November 1942 and April 1945, dropping nearly 19,000 tons
of ordnance in the process including the legendary August 1943
Ploesti mission. These statistics were achieved at a material cost
of around 200 aircraft, and a human cost of some 2,000 airmen MIA,
as the 8th USAAF focused its strategic bombing campaign in the face
of determined Luftwaffe opposition.
