Gallery: WWII BOMB FUSE LETTER
Letters home from a 464th Bomb Group airman are preserved here alongside a bomb arming safety pin still bearing its handwritten tag from the December 1944 raid on the Blechhammer oil refineries. Pairing candid family correspondence with the hardware of heavy bomber armament, the grouping links the human and mechanical sides of Fifteenth Air Force operations from Italy.
