61 years have passed since the 1 August 1943 air raid on Ploieşti. I thought it would be a good idea to build a database with texts which tell different aspects of the story of that particular raid.
I would appreciate if we could build this topic as some sort of reference list on the Ploieşti air raid, meaning that all comments you may have on these (and future) articles will be posted in separate threads. |

On the homepage of the USAF Museum there are several pages containing information from the original documents of the mission that tell the story of 1 August 1943 from the point of view of the attackers.

Also from the point of view of the attackers is an article that has originally appeared in the March 2000 issue of Aviation History and which is built on a report written by the commander of the Vagabond King plane, pilot John McCormick.

Another article that has originally appeared in World War II is the story of the U.S. 93rd Bomb Group, also known as The Traveling Circus

I have also found the story of Kenton McFarland, a pilot in the 93rd Bombardment Group, whose plane was said to be the last to land on the return from Ploieşti.
