Aircraft of the 384th Bombardment Group
The 384th Bombardment Group relied on a remarkable fleet of aircraft to carry out its missions during World War II. Most notably, the B-17 Flying Fortress became a symbol of the Group’s strength, endurance, and technical innovation.
Each aircraft had its own story—crews, missions, and unique markings—contributing to the Group’s legacy in the skies over Europe. From their base at Grafton Underwood, these planes and their crews faced challenging conditions and played a crucial role in the Allied air campaign.
