Thanks Dad.
My father on the far left.Bombardier in B17.He was involved in Nov 26th 1944 mission into Germany.They lost 34 B17 crews that Day.
1100 bombers sent to bomb the Misburg oil refinery and a rail yard. Germany sent 500+ fighters to intercept them.

Heres what your dad mustve seen looking down his bombsight

Yup. During WW2, the lack of fuel really changed and hampered Germany's war strategies, their oil fields in Hugary and Romania couldnt keep up with their needs. So protecting their oil assets was priority.

This mission your dad was involved in really crippled the German army even more.
