It is October1944. With a rumble of thunder in the air a summer storm
sweeps across the landscape as B-17 Fortresses of the 381st Bomb
Group
return from a deep penetration daylight raid. Descending
into their base
at Ridgewell, several of the returning aircraft have received damage
from flak or fighters; one of the last stragglers having made
the trip home
with part of her bomb bay shot away. However, the beautiful Essex
countryside, stretching to the horizon, welcomes the weary crews
home.
