This episode takes us into March 1943 with the 423rd Bomb Squadron of the 306th Bomb Group in Thurleigh, England.

Our story introduces us to new characters and builds on the story of the fabulous Sweet Pea as a surprise twist.

This episode continues to build on the back story of Lt David Steele, his crew, and cohorts in the 306th Bomb Group. Before we get to the Meat Hounds first mission we hear about the rise and fall of Sweet Pea and build on her backstory with a huge twist. We also hear how Steele and Jones are involved in a crash and a mid air collision before taking the Sky Wolf on a tour of Wessex only to abort a mission.

Lt Steele takes Meat Hound on her first combat mission to Amiens, France on March 13, 1943. The mission is plagued by bad weather and poor visibility but the 306th Bomb Group did have a very nice Spitfire escort which helped make the trip a milk run of sorts.
