The REAL “Airbenders” Bloody Hundredth 8th Air Force John Clark
John Clark was born into a generation captivated by air travel. As a child, he built model airplanes and dreamed of one day taking flight. After America entered World War II, Clark knew he wanted to take the fight directly to Germany's doorstep and enlisted in the Air Force in 1942.

Clark would find himself a co-pilot aboard a B-17 Flying Fortress in the 100th Bomb Group, known as the "Bloody Hundredth/" due to the number of casualties the unit suffered.

Clark would survive 32 grueling bombing missions over Germany, flying at 28,000 feet amid enemy fighter planes and flak.
