8th Air Force heavy bombers over German occupied territory

Throughout the past months, the heavy bombers of the 8th Air Force have been dropping vital supplies and weapons to the men of the Maquis. Dropping low over the German occupied territory, the heavy bombers roar in with bombs bays open and out tumble the parachutes to carry earthward the weapons nec-essary to the fighting Maquis to strike a telling blow at the Nazi invaders. As the parachutes swing slowly earthward, the men of the Maquis rush out to anxiously gather up the vital supplies. - FRANCE -
