Military, local community asked to respect Suffolk airfield
A flight of B-17 Flying Fortresses of the 490th Bomb Group take to the skies. The 490th BG, like the 486th and 487th Bomb Groups, transitioned from flying B-24 Liberators to B-17 Flying Fortresses, which were used in combat missions from late-August 1944. Based at Eye, Suffolk, the group were focused in the early months in flying tactical missions in support of ground forces in northern France.
