Before the sun sets on January 11, 1944, sixty American bombers will be falling out of the sky over central Germany.
Sixty. In a single mission. Six hundred men.
At the same moment, one American pilot in a P-51 Mustang will be flying alone above a formation of Flying Fortresses, engaging thirty German fighters by himself — with three of his four guns jammed and his fuel almost gone.
His name is James Howard. He was born in Canton, China. This is not just a story about a hero.
It is the story of the day the arithmetic of the air war changed forever.
For every veteran of the Eighth Air Force. For every family who lost someone over Germany.
00:00 Black Thursday and the crisis
11:40 The machine that changed everything
23:20 Thirty minutes alone against the Luftwaffe
34:10 The bombers that came home because of one Mustang
47:50 What it really meant for the war
If your father or grandfather flew B-17s, B-24s, or P-51s with the Eighth Air Force, please leave his name, squadron, or memory in the comments. This channel remembers them all.
Thank you for watching the series.
