‘TO HELL AND BACK’ by Anthony Saunders is a very dramatic piece specially commissioned in 2013 to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tidal Wave.
Flying at low-level over the Astra Romana oil refinery, Lt James Merrick of the 98th Bomb Group powers his B-24 ‘Lil De-icer’ through the pall of burning debris as time-delayed bombs, dropped in error by a previous Group, explode beneath them. With any hope of surprise now lost, and taking heavy losses in the process, the crews of the 98th bravely held their bombers on course, 1 August, 1943.
