I find the history of the 8th fascinating since I have family ties. The American Air Museum in England has a good database of crews,planes,missions,etc.

Some brave young boys, incredibly high attrition rate.
One of my favorite planes.
Thread got me thinking: Would you rather be part of the D Day at landing at Normandy, or try to fly 25 missions in B17 over Europe?
I guess I would go for D Day

One of the many websites I’m sure, but here is another database. This one covers the 384th Bomb Group. My grandpa served on a B-17 and his sorties are listed here. We have a lot of his paperwork, which includes his missions. This database is way more right than wrong. It also has pictures of much of the planes flown along with their status during the war. Very cool stuff.
