Great website with meticulous info dedicated to preserving and honoring the history of the 303rd Bombardment Group (H)'s contribution to World War II. They were stationed in Molesworth, England from 1942 until VE Day 1945. Contrary to the movie Memphis Belle it was the Hells Angels ie. 303rdbg that first flew 25 missions in the Euro Campaign
