The Men, the B-17s, the Missions and the Legacy —— These historical pages are dedicated to preserving the memory and the legacy of the men who served in the 303rd Bombardment Group (H) "Hell's Angels" during World War II. The 303rd BG was an Eighth Air Force, B-17 Bomber Group stationed in Molesworth, England. They adopted the motto "Might in Flight" in October 1942 and proudly earned it on each of their record 364 combat missions. Their place in history and the legacy they left behind will live forever.

This website contains over 2250 separate web pages and over four million words, which are fully indexed and easily searchable. The 364 Mission Reports are included in the search results, or they can be searched separately. Try the Quick Search box at the left, or at the top of any page.

B-17G #42-38050 Thunderbird was one of the 303rd's most famous aircraft and one of the few B-17s to fly over 100 combat missions. The B-17 Thunderbird website led to the development of this 303rd Bomb Group website. It contains a wealth of information on that great B-17, including all 538 crewmen who flew on her 134 recorded flights.
