During WWII, the mighty 8th Air Force was stationed in East Anglia. The Eastern county
side of Suffolk England was also home the 487th Heavy Bomb Group. Nested at
Lavenham was station 137 and the 839th Bomb Squadron. It was here that the Sack
Rabbit flew dozens of missions over enemy territory. Joe Bodio, navigator,
bombardier, artist and engineer, flew into history. He was part of the 12,700 B-17
Flying Fortresses that helped turn the tide of the Eastern theater.
