Sharing the Legacy of


THE BLOODY HUNDREDTH ®

Welcome to the official website of the 100th Bomb Group Foundation, home to the
most comprehensive archival accounts of the men, missions and machines of World
War II’s 100th Bombardment Group.







MASTERS OF THE AIR

Streaming now on Apple TV+, the nine-episode mini-series Masters of the Air
focuses on the real-life experiences of the 100th Bomb Group to tell the story
of the Eighth Air Force during World War II. It brings into vivid focus the
experiences of the Bloody Hundredth, from the hard stands at Thorpe Abbotts to
flak-filled aerial battles and the harsh realities of POW life at Stalag Luft
III. 100th BG historical staff provided archival research and technical
consultation on a daily basis to help support the producers’ commitment to
authenticity.

COURAGE IN THE SKIES: JOIN US TO BUILD A NEW MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

With Masters of the Air generating intense interest in the 100th Bomb Group and
its place in Eighth Air Force history, you can help the 100th Bomb Group
Foundation expand its presence at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air
Force. As the museum undergoes major renovations, we have launched a separate,
multi-million-dollar campaign to deliver an immersive experience for
museum-goers. The project, known as Courage in the Skies, will offer visitors
new insight into the wartime world of the Bloody Hundredth and new access to the
Foundation’s unparalleled collection of 100th BG history. We welcome your help
to complete our multi-phase plan. Please partner with us today to educate new
generations about the legacy of the men, missions, and machines that helped
liberate Nazi-occupied Europe.
