Join Bomber Boys curator Stephanie Lile (Executive Director

through the extraordinary true story of the bomber boys tasked
with preventing the transmission of power to the railway system
over the Brenner Pass between Italy and Austria in 1944.
Lile is the curator of Bomber Boys and author of The Tail Gunner,
a piece of contemporary young adult fiction about a teenage
girl who finds a secret stash of World War II images from
which the ghost of a World War II bomber boy emerges. Based
in the remarkable true story of tail gunner Keith B. Lile and the
445th bomb squadron of the 12th Army Air Corps.
