In this episode of Duty & Valor, we delve into the dramatic story of Operation Tidal Wave, one of the most daring and dangerous air raids of World War II. On August 1, 1943, 177 B-24 Liberators launched from Allied bases in North Africa to strike the heavily fortified Ploesti oil refineries in Romania—critical to fueling the German war machine. Join us as we explore the strategic importance of the mission, the brave airmen who risked everything, and the harrowing challenges they faced from intense anti-aircraft defenses.
