Twelve Hour Review “No luck. » This is the term used to describe the 918 Bomb Squad of the United States Air Force during World War II. At a critical moment in the war against the German Luftwaffe, airmen were subjected to a new strategy called "precision daylight bombing."

Therefore, the general must increase their sense of self-confidence, self-determination and self-efficacy to make them more powerful and improve their chances of success. General Savage used several leadership principles to empower his squad: • Offer a choice During General Savage's first crew briefing, he gave everyone the choice of remaining in the 918 or filling out transfer paperwork.
