Jesus look at these numbers.
What was the survival rate of the B-17 bomber crew?
24%
The most dangerous were the first and last five trips. During the whole war, 51% of aircrew were killed on operations, 12% were killed or wounded in non-operational accidents and 13% became prisoners of war or evaders. Only 24% survived the war unscathed.
frick those poor bastards

The 8th Air Force lost more men in WWII than the entire US Marine Corps did.
