Great reporting, heavy losses, interesting story.

B-17s and B-24s bombing industrial plant deep inside Germany. American crews had a 1 out of 5 chance of returning.

Part of the reason of the ligh loss was a lack of an escort fighter. It was not later in the war, escort fighters were saving bombadiers lives.
