    The World Wars are inarguably some of the greatest conflicts in human history. With roots going back to the earliest years of the twentieth century, what is now known as the Army Air Defense Artillery branch played an integral role in the Second World War. Initially called the Coast Artillery Corps, rebranded as the Anti-Aircraft Artillery, and finally becoming the Air Defense Artillery, the branch maintains a storied history of action through several key battles of World War II.

    The B-17, which was an American heavy bomber, was a massive success in the European Theater. According to America in the Air War, B-17s shot down 23 German fighters using defensive 12.7mm machine guns for every 1,000 sorties over Europe (a sortie was one mission by one plane). B-24s, another large bomber, had only 11 for every 1,000 sorties. Most B-17s in Europe were in the 8th Air Force, bombing German airplane parts factories. However, they were not completely invincible. Before long range fighters like the P-47 of P-51 were developed, B-17s took terrible losses from German fighters. On one mission alone, there were over 400 bombers lost. Flak was also a large destroyer of B-17s. Flak is a shell that, at a preset altitude, exploded and threw shrapnel throughout the air.…
