452nd Bomb Group History Book!

The SUNRISE SERENADE - A World War II Bomber Crew Story, authored by Jerry Penry, is the account of a bomber crew who were shot down over German controlled Belgium in 1944. Detailed events of the entire 452nd Bomb Group from the individual training in the States, the combat missions, being shot down, internment in the POW camps and then back home again. This book is a nice resource for anyone researching the operations of the 8th Air Force in Europe, with emphasis given on the 452nd Bombardment Group in particular, who were based at Deopham Green, England.

Discover a time when the actions of the crews of World War II B-17 bombers downed behind enemy lines were an indication of their loyalty to their country. Like thousands of other bomber crews, the crew of the Sunrise Serenade endured on a daily basis a fear of death as they moved the War over and behind the German established ground lines of defense. After being shot down, worry, hunger, loneliness, and sickness then prevailed as many airmen struggled to survive in the prison camps or to remain hidden in the Underground. An uncertain future awaited these men as they daily anticipated the end of the War.
