100th ARW Airmen meet legendary heroes of WWII at 100th BG reunion in Savannah

U.S. Air Force Airmen from Royal Air Force Mildenhall, along with 100th Bomb Group veterans and survivors, Capt. John “Lucky” Luckadoo, seated left, 351st Bomb Squadron pilot and operations officer, and Lt James Rasmussen, 349th Bomb Squadron navigator, and two sons of 100th BG veterans pose for a photo by a restored B-17 Flying Fortress, “The City of Savannah,” with the original flag that was flown over the 100th Bomb Group at Thorpe Abbotts during World War II, at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in Savannah, Georgia, May 27, 2023. When Thorpe Abbotts was decommissioned as a U.S. base in 1945, the flag was lowered. It has since been brought to every reunion since it began. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
