During his time with the 100th Bomb Group, Col. Thomas S. Jeffrey emphasized the importance of keeping a tight formation during combat missions. Jeffrey oversaw numerous practice missions where crews harnessed their skills flying in formation. These rare images were all taken during one of those practice missions in July 1944, and the audio of Jeffrey is from an interview he gave in 1997.

80 years ago today, Sgt. Herb Leaverton from the 100th Bomb Group Photo Section was in London at the Guildhall, and recorded this incredible color footage of Supreme Allied Commander Dwight Eisenhower after he was awarded the Honorary Freedom of the City of London. Eisenhower drove through cheering crowds to the Guildhall that day, and he was joined by Winston Churchill, who can also be seen in this footage.

Operation Chowhound was one of the 100th Bomb Group’s finest hours, and today we mark the 80th anniversary of those humanitarian missions. By the spring of 1945, portions of the Netherlands were still under German occupation, and the Dutch people were facing starvation. Following negotiations with German officials in the Netherlands, an agreement was reached which allowed American and Allied bomber crews to fly within a designated corridor without the fear of enemy fire to drop parcels.

In February 1944, John “Lucky” Luckadoo and William DeSanders flew their 25th and final combat mission with the 100th Bomb Group. They had defied the odds, and would be going home.

This video was recorded in February 2024, and is shown here for the first time with the permission of Lee DeSanders and Kevin Maurer, author of “Damn Lucky.” Lucky is committed to educat

Newly restored color footage, shown here for the first time, exactly 80 years after it was filmed on March 23, 1945. Crews from the 100th Bomb Group can be seen here returning from the mission to Unna, Germany. There is also a B-25 from the RAF which makes an emergency landing, and is attended to by fire fighting crews from the Hundredth. We remember the brave airmen who took part in this mission 80 years ago today. (Leaverton collection, 100th Bomb Group Foundation) | 100th Bomb Group Foundatio

In 1962, Dr. John Clark became one of the very first 100th Bomb Group veterans to return to Thorpe Abbotts. John and his wife Marie rented a car in London, and plotted out their journey on a map. John was able to successfully locate his old base and he stood atop the control tower, which was filled with straw at the time. John said “I had last left the base 17 years before, and by 1962 much of it was overgrown with weeds, bushes, and small trees. The paved areas between the buildings were covere

A few days after their Operation Chowhound mission, the Robert Ellis crew shot this footage over in the 351st Squadron area. The quality of the film varies in sections, but it gives you a unique glimpse of daily life on base at Thorpe Abbotts.
