Monday, March 27, 1944. Knock Out Dropper.

 


The B-17 "Knock Out Dropper" flew its 75th mission, the first American bomber to reach that mark.  It would have had multiple crews in reaching that goal.

Negotiations between the USSR and Finland resumed.

The Marine Corps completed its unopposed landings on Emirau.

The Red Army captured Kamenets-Podolski, on the Dnestr River and Gorodenka.  The German 1st Panzer Army is ordered to break out.

The British regroup in India, with reinforcements brought in by air.

Life magazine, which was heavy on photos, featured a Landing Ship, Infantry, on the cover.  In the pages it had an article on the best techniques for pin-ups.
