RAF Mildenhall Heritage

THE 200 MISSION MILESTONE & 12 O'Clock High!

Stories from RAF Mildenhall's rich heritage

by Robert H. Paley, 100 ARW Historian.

DID YOU KNOW that The legendary movie “12 O’Clock High!” was partly inspired by the 100th Bomb Group? It’s true! The movie’s co-writer, Lt Col Beirne Lay, Jr. was an Eighth Air Force historian and Film Unit Commander under General Ira Eaker, Commander of the Eighth Air Force, when he decided to fly with the 100th Bomb Group to gain combat experience before taking command himself.

He would fly on some of the most treacherous missions of the 100th Bomb Group as a copilot—to include the costly Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission of August 1943.

38

RIGHT: Capt.

Thomas E. Murphy of "Picadilly Lilly".

| OCTOBER 2020

a superb pilot and a brave man without whom the German enemy could never have been defeated Lay flew with Capt Thomas Murphy of “Picadilly Lilly” fame, and after the war it was “Picadilly Lilly” that played the “starring” B-17 role in the movie “12 O’clock High!”

Murphy was Killed in Action on 8 October 1943 during a raid on Bremen. Lay autographed a copy of his book to Murphy’s mother (see photo left), and described Murphy as “a superb pilot and a brave man

without whom the German enemy could never have been defeated.”

THE BLOODY 100TH BOMB GROUP CELEBRATES ITS 200TH MISSION On 22 September 1944, crews return from the Russian Shuttle mission. On 25 September 1944, the 100th Bomb Group reached the 200 MISSION milestone when

ABOVE: The "PICCADILLY LILY" - Thomas E. Murphy's Crew and

Thorpe Abbotts Red Cross club piano draws lots of attention.

they attacked Ludwigshafen with UNOBERSVED results on target and no losses of men or aircraft. Due to the high operational tempo of the group, the 100th wasn’t able to celebrate the 200th mission until 1 October. The Group intelligence officer (S-2) “Red” Bowman wrote in his diary, “200th mission party last night-a considerable time was had by all.
