Today's show is in three parts. Part 1 covers the final months of the 8th Air Force's time in England, starting with the December 24, 1944 mission and moving through to Operation Manna and the missions around the time of VE Day. Part 2 is all about the huge job of winding down the bases, the flights back to the USA and the scrapping and dismantling of aircraft and facilities. It also talks about the deep and enduring relationships that had been forged between the people of East Anglia and the young Americans - this incredible Friendly Invasion.
