Valor at Polebrook,
by David Poole
Dedicated to the
valiant men who flew on the epic last flight of "Ten Horsepower," a
B-17 of the 351st Bomb Group, which tragically crashed just short of
her home base at Polebrook, England. The aircraft was returning from
a harrowing mission to Liepzig, Germany, on the 20th of February
1944, the opening day of the Eighth Air Force's historic "Big Week"
bombing campaign. "Ten Horsepower" is shown in the company of a
second B-17, piloted by Major Elzia Ledoux, who took to the air in a
desperate effort to assist the crippled aircraft during her final
moments.
