B-17 Flying Fortresses over Osnabruck

Five miles up, with the temperature nearly 50° below zero, 8th Air Force Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortresses" streak the cold-gray sky with feathery contrails as they release their bombs on the important rail facilities at Osnabruck, in support of Gen. Dempsey's British 2nd Army driving into Germany's Ruhr Valley. All Nazi supplies and reinforcements intended to blunt Dempsey's thrust must pass through Osnabruck's rail junction.
