IMAGE"Photo of Nazi airfield at Chateaudun, France, was taken a few moments before B-17 "Flying Fortresses" of the 452nd Bomb Group released their bombs during their raid of 28 March 1944. Pock-marks on the runways indicate that these B-17s had made the trip before with good results. (Taken by Sgt Melvin S Jenner)."
