The story of the 397th Bombardment Group (BG) in World War II. The 397th BG flew into battle with the B-26 Marauder, which occupied a middle ground between the formalized doctrines of attack aviation and strategic bombardment. It offered capabilities traditionally associated with both strategic and tactical airpower, yet had limitations in both. As the last American B-26 group sent to the European Theater of Operations, the 397th entered the war during the preparatory phase for the invasion of France and supported the Allied advance across the Low Countries and Germany and victory in Europe.
