IBCC Lecture and Supper Series - Tiger Force - International Bomber Command Centre

Tiger Force – Thursday 18th September 6.30pm

At the Quebec Conference of September 1944, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Roosevelt estimated it would take a further 18 months to defeat Japan once the war in Europe was over. Churchill proposed that Bomber Command would then provide a very long-range bomber force to fight alongside the Americans against Japan in the Pacific. Known as ‘Tiger Force’ it would be made up of squadrons based mainly from Lincolnshire.

Phil Bonner from Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire will talk the about the build up for ‘Tiger Force’, the challenges of deploying out to the Pacific and its subsequent disbandment following the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The evening starts with a delicious hot supper in The Hub Café at 6.30pm.
