Living legends of the 100th Bomb Group, Capt. John “Lucky” Luckadoo, 351st Bomb Squadron pilot, and Lt. Jim Rasmussen, 349th Bomb Squadron navigator, were both stationed at Thorpe Abbotts, Norfolk, England, during WWII.
The 100th Bomb Group was part of the Eighth Air Force, founded in Savannah, Georgia, and went on to become the greatest air armada the world has ever seen. It also became the foundation for the mission of today’s U.S. Air Force.
