The new series will feature the US military's daytime bomber attacks on Nazi Germany. These attacks were launched from bases in Norfolk and Suffolk on the east coast of England. The scene filmed in the UK has not yet been determined. The Lincolnshire authorities hope to encourage the inclusion of their area, as they have close ties with the United States Air Force during the war. During the war, 30000 American soldiers were stationed in the Grantham area. They were there preparing for D-Day, and Goxhill (located in the northern part of the county) was used to train American pilots for bombing attacks. The Pioneer paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions took off from North Wescombe, becoming the first group of American troops to enter Normandy on D-Day.
