Bomb-loaders England

EIGHTH AIR FORCE BOMBER STATION, ENGLAND -- The men in this picture believe they have a record to be proud of. There are 37 of them and as bomb-loaders for one squadron of one Flying Fortress group they have averaged more than 100 tons each in one year in bombs loaded in their Forts and dropped on the enemy. There are many groups of Fortresses based in England which gives a good idea of why Germany is reeling under the terrific daylight bombardments by the Eighth Air Force.
