WWII.....?

[Greyman50]

pick your poison, I suppose.

The 8th Air Force lost more aircrew over Europe that the US Marines lost in island hopping.

Think about that.

For those interested, find and read “ Fall of Fortress”. OOP but may be found. A first hand account from a B-17 pilot who told it like it was.
Back in the 90s got invited by Air Force to display at the roll out of the restored Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby at Dover Air Force Base. Met and talked to the crew ,even got them to autograph the Readers Digest about them.
