The new series will feature the daylight bomber raids by American forces over Nazi Germany. Those raids launched from bases in Norfolk and Suffolk which are on the east coast of England.What scenes will be shot in the UK have not been determined. Authorities in Lincolnshire want to encourage that their area be included since they were strongly linked with the USAAF in the war.
30,000 US servicemen were stationed in the Grantham area during the war. They were there to prepare for D-Day and Goxhill (in the north of the county) was used to train US pilots for bombing raids.
It was from North Witham that the Pathfinder parachutists of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Division took off to become the first American troops into Normandy on D-Day.
