ABOUT THE DASHBOARD

The 44th BG Dashboard tells the story of one bomb group. For researchers who want to place the 44th in the context of the entire 8th Air Force, we recommend the Eighth Air Force Data Spreadsheet (EADS) - a primary-source dataset covering every heavy bomber group in the 8th Air Force's European operations.

Built by researcher Chris Riches from AFHRA records and UK National Archives documents, EADS is the kind of rigorous, data-first resource that makes this kind of research possible. It includes briefed targets (not just bomb release points), sortie-level detail, and is designed to grow and improve over time.
