O
n Aug. 11, 1944, a B-17 named “Luck of Judith Ann” flew from northern London as part of a 36-plane detail to conduct a bombing run on targets in Germany. The plane encountered heavy German resistance, taking flak that caused all but one of its engines to
fail, but successfully delivered its payload of 10 500pound bombs. Despite the efforts of the crew to keep the plane aloft, they began to lose altitude rapidly and had to parachute out of the aircraft and into occupied France. The crew spent days evading German forces, eventually making contact with members of the French Resistance who helped them make their way ■
