April 10, 1944
Life’s cover story is Air Chief Marshal Arthur T. Harris, who backed the theory of mass bombing. The movie of the weeks is “Buffalo Bill,” starring Joel McCrea.
Life visits the home “in the majestic setting of California’s San Gabriel Valley” of Disney artist Ward Kimball, who is giving a party featuring his Grizzy Flats Railroad, which he keeps on his two-acre lot.
Please remember that each heavy bomber had 10 crewmembers, so losing over 500 bombers per month meant that, aside from a few rare bombers which flew back and were a total loss, over 5,000 brave and highly trained Allied men were killed, injured and/or captured EACH MONTH in Feb. and March 1944. And they did it for YOU.
