308th BOMBARDMENT GROUP

Mar 1943 - 30 Sep 1945

( 308th pages under construction; links currently nonfunctional. )


"The bombardment functions of the organization are allegorically implied by the ability of the organization to grow, in spite of possible losses of some of its branches, and by the mythical head of the Gorgon Medusa, supposedly capable of overcoming all opposition. The oak tree denotes the strength of the organization and the numerical designation is indicated by the three branches, the zero formed by the shield and the eight leaves on each branch (308). The motto 'Percussus Resurgo' ( When Struck Down I Rise Again ) is suggested as being appropriate to the symbolism of the shield and to characteristics of the personnel. "
