Operation Tidal Wave

Profile manager: Terry Poole [send private message]

The goal of this project is to document all of the American Airmen that flew in Operation Tidal Wave against the oil refineries at Ploesti, Rumania on 1 August 1943. Ploesti was know as Hitler's Gas Station & it was hoped that destruction of the refineries could reduce the duration of World War II by 6 months.

The operation consisted of 178 B-24 Liberator Bombers and 1,751 aircrew. 53 of the aircraft and 660 aircrew were lost during the attack. 5 Congressional Medal of Honor were awarded, 3 posthumously.

Right now this project just has one member, me. I am Terry Poole.

Here are some of the tasks that I think need to be done. I'll be working on them, and could use your help.

• Categorize each of the bombers by Air Force (Both 8th via TDY and 9th participated) through Bombardment Groups, through squadrons to individual planes
• Create profiles for each airman
• Create sub-categories under the World War II umbrella for all groups and squadrons if they do not already exist

Will you join me? Please post a comment here on this page, in G2G using the project tag, or send me a private message. Thanks!
