Rosie (Sweet Rose O'Grady) was a B-17G-5-VE, and she flew more missions than almost any other aircraft in the 8th Air Force. She flew with 427th Squadron, 303rd Bomb Group, First Air Division, 41st Combat Bomb Wing, out of Molesworth, England. More than 8,000 B-17G's were sent into European skies. Sweet Rose flew 124 missions, and Alone No More chronicles one of them. She is returning from a mission with battle damage. She has dropped behind the formation and was alone in the vast European skies - one of the things most feared by bomber crews, because then they became easy prey for the fighters of the Third Reich. But now Rosie is joined by two Spitfire Mark XI's of the 241st Squadron. They will escort her home to England. Rosie and her crew are Alone No More. - WP
