The Crusaders Window at Little Easton
Image: © Adrian S Pye Taken: 3 Dec 2019
During World War II the American 386th Bomb Group, known as The Crusaders, "mounted up with wings as eagles" flying some 263 missions from nearby Easton Lodge airfield against Nazi targets in Europe. Nearly 200 Crusaders were lost to enemy action and many more were wounded or taken prisoner. This "Window Of The Crusaders" depicts some of the daily activities of the men of the 386th Bomb Group during the thirteen months they were stationed near this church at Little Easton near RAF Great Dunmow.
