The exhibit is grouped into the following sections: The Cache, The Combat, The Captains, The Crew, and The Camps. Each aspect of life in the European strategic bombing theater of World War II offers a unique clue to the life and times of the men who barely talked about their experiences after the war. All images included in “Bomber Boys” are from the KBL Family Collection, a secret cache of images found after the death of tail gunner Keith B. Lile in 1993.
