Road to Regensburg by Gareth Hector
DESCRIPTION EDITIONS SIGNERS TRAILER August 17, 1943: It’s around 10:30 a.m. as Major Gale “Buck” Cleven and the men of the 100th Bomb Group run the gauntlet to bomb the Messerschmitt factory at Regensburg. Leading the 350th Squadron, lowest and last in a line of seven groups, Cleven and the crew of “Phartzac” find themselves in the crosshairs of “too many fighters for sound health.” It’s just the start of two hours of constant fighter attacks. The B-17 “Alice From Dallas” is among the first to fall of the nine ships the 100th will lose today. And the crew of “Phartzac” will suffer one dead, multiple wounded, and damage from nose to stern, yet they will “sit there and take it” and put their bombs on target, embodying the spirit of the “Bloody Hundredth.” Special thanks to Michael Faley & the 100th Bomb Group Foundation for their assistance.
