With targets in snow-covered Regensburg burning, the B-17 Flying Fortresses of the Eighth Air Force 452nd Bombardment Group turn to begin their long journey back to England on February 25, 1944, the last day of Big Week.

Fifteenth Air Force bombs fall on Regensbrg, home to the largest manufacturing facility for Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters.
