Summary

Description
English: Boeing B-17F radar bombing through clouds over Bremen, Germany, on Nov. 13, 1943. The B-17Fs were of the 384th Bomb Group, and were targeting the city center of Bremen. A white "skymarker" bomb can be seen shooting out smoke, fired from a PFF B-17, indicating the time to bomb.

Most B-17Fs of the group were recalled while forming over England due to weather reported over Europe, and one B-17 (B-17F-25-BO 41-24575 "Sunrise Serenader" of the 544th Bomb Squadron, flown by 1Lt Ralph Connell Jr.) accidentally crashed when recalled, and only radio operator TSgt Alan Bradford survived.

The mission was the 130th for the Eighth Air Force in England, and 66 B-17s and 61 B-24s bombed Bremen, with 3 B-17s and 13 B-24s being shot down.
