8th Air Force

On 18 Mar 1944, 8AF dispatched 738 heavy bombers against eight airdromes and airplane component and assembly plants near Friedrichshafen and Munich, Germany. Per its Tactical Mission Report, “A common route over enemy territory to the general target areas was planned, with the three main forces separating to attack their respective targets and converging at the same points” for the return trip via the same route. “The route was essentially direct and was designed to facilitate fighter support, outflank the largest concentration of enemy fighters and avoid the strongest ground defenses.”
