On June 25th and July 14th 1944, B17's of the 94thBG, 390thBG and 100thBG of the 8th AF flew some very special secret missions over the south eastern France. The goal was to bring support to the French resistance at Vercors (the only free area in occupied France). These missions had a code name: "cadillac". These men risked their lifes, some of them never got back home.
Original footage of supplies mission has been filmed from the ground by members of the resistance.
