Inhaltsangabe

On 27 September 1944, 35 B-24s of the 445th Bomb Group flew off course, lost their fighter protection, and were ambushed by between 100 and 150 German fighter planes. The ensuing battle resulted in the highest one-day losses for a single bomb group in 8th Air Force history. Forty-six years later, survivors of the battle from both sides met in Germany to dedicate a monument with the names of all of the flyers who perished in the battle. Up Above the Clouds to Die is the story of the battle and the events that led to the creation of the Kassel Mission Memorial.
