On this episode of Our American Stories, during World War II, thousands of young Americans volunteered to fly dangerous bombing missions over Europe in the Consolidated B-24 Liberator, one of the most heavily produced aircraft of the war. Many of the men climbing into those freezing aluminum bombers were barely out of high school and had never traveled far from home before joining the United States Army Air Forces.

The late, great historian Stephen Ambrose shares the story of the crews who flew the rugged WWII bomber through brutal conditions over Germany and helped cripple Adolf Hitler’s war machine.
