Munster Mission

On the 10th October 1943, Mission 114 as it was known by the USAAF, the 100th BG would truly earn the title, The Bloody Hundredth, when all but one of their B-17's was shot down. The 100th BG on the mission to Munster was decimated. All but one aircraft returned, piloted by Lt Rosie Rosenthal, a replacement pilot for the losses the 100th BG incurred on the Schweinfurt Raid on the 17th August 1943.
