Station 174: RAF Sudbury 80 years on

Eighty years after the really quite brief period that RAF Sudbury, home to the 486th BG, USAAF, was operational, this video reveals the buildings, runway and taxiway fragments that survive to this day, and tells the story of the tragedy at Wood Hall, when a B-17 which had taken off on a raid to Cologne lost power and crashed, killing all but one of the crew and a local boy.
