Thread: 8th USAF airmen leave and a couple more questions

    Default 8th USAF airmen leave and a couple more questions

    Guys i have a couple more questions on the 8th USAF.
    1. Did the 8th USAF airmen have any leave during the 25 mission cycle?
    2. If yes then for how long? Or was there any system in it?
    3. Would they sometimes come back and do another 25 mission cycle?
    4 Would sometimes the Squadron Commander fly with them in the Lead Bomber? (i know they did on the 8th first mission to Rouen, and then i saw it in Twelve O'Clock High movie - i think)

    1. yes. it was mandatory. the army took over a resort somewhere in england (dont recall where) for r&r for aircrew.
    2. i dont recall the schedule anymore. i think it was for 2 week periods but my memory isnt what it used to be lol.
    3. yes. a few airmen did volunteer (or voluntold maybe?) for second tours of duty.
    4. yes, but for obvious reasons it was frowned upon.
