EDITORS NOTE: The article “Anatomy of a Bombing Mission” does an excellent job explaining everything that took place in order to put together one bombing mission.  Authored by Annette Tison in 2017, the article features the 392nd Bomb Group. A similar process would have been used by all of the bomb groups for all of their missions.  Having many  photos, with great explanations, it is easy to read and understand.  From the weather forecast to the cleanup and repair afterwards, you will really come to understand what a team effort it was to put together just one WWII bombing mission.  Remember, for every man in the air, there were twenty others on the ground.
