Enjoy this history of the bomb groups of the 304th Bomb Wing in World War II with this discovered archival film footage. The bombardment groups of the 304th BW began arriving in Italy in January of 1944. They would remain there until V-E day in 1945.

Identified B-24 aircraft are seen on the ground and in the air at their bases at San Giovanni, Stornara and Giulia Airfield and the viewer gets a unique look and visual record of the 454th, 455th, 456th and 459th Bombardment Groups of the 304th Bomb Wing in action during World War II.

In constructing this film on the 304th Bombardment Group, we have watched hundreds of hours of film footage. We have utilized a variety of sources for research. What has remained is identified footage for particular groups. We present this material without any narration (sound) added. Footage contained has not been enhanced in any way. Some may be over exposed, other clips dark and even items may not have ideal focus. Nevertheless, we want to present the most comprehensive record of these groups on film.

A special note on this dvd title; the footage of the 454th, 456th and 459th groups is all of the film footage we have been able to locate on these three groups.

These are not documentary wwii movies, they are not hollywood produced films but the raw original footage taken by the photographers of the Army Air Forces Combat Camera Units. Much of the footage was digitized from 16mm and 35mm film reels.

116 total minutes of silent black and white film footage. 103 minutes of the 454/455/456/459 groups then 13 minutes that includes listening to a narrative with footage on the missions to Ploesti, Rumania.
