Paul will talk about the history of the airfield with a focus on the 381st Bomb Group and their missions over Europe. The story includes tragic accidents on the ground and in the air, deception raids, hitting the Bremen shipyards and the first mission to Schweinfurt.

We will also talk to Paul about the museum and the team's dedication to keeping the stories alive of the Eight Airforce in Essex during WWII.
