History
Hello Everyone,
My name is S. Aaron, and I am the sole creator and proprietor of Canto34 Studios. I am so excited to finally get this story out to the world, after sitting on it, writing it, and rewriting it for a little over nine years. Since I was a boy, I was obsessed with World War II, and specifically, the Air War fought over Europe. I was just 5 years old when I first watched the 1991 movie, Memphis Belle, and that began my life-long obsession with all things World War II and anything to do with the Boeing B-17 Bomber.
My sole purpose in telling this story is to give glory and honor to the brave young men who gave everything they could, in order to serve their country. This type of warfare is sadly forgotten in History books and public media, but it was vicious, cruel, dangerous, and outright suicidal. However, these 18-23-year-old kids from all around American volunteered to do the job that ultimately allowed the Allies to be able to invade Europe and bring the war to an end.
The men, the 300th bombardment group, and the airfield described in this story are all fictional, but please keep in mind that the men, bombardment group, locations, events, stories, and lives described in this story are based on real men, bombardment groups, locations, events, stories, and lives.
In the last nine years, I've interviewed a dozen veterans of the 8th Air Force and asked each one if they felt comfortable having their story shared with the public, and every one of them said something to the effect of, "Sure, as long as my name isn't mentioned, I don't want to be seen as some kind of hero, I was just doing my job." So many of these veterans don't want to be displayed as the hero's they are, and so, I decided to honor their wishes.
I look forward to seeing you and hearing from you all in July, and I hope you all enjoy this story, as much as I enjoyed writing it.
-S. Aaron
