‘And as good as the Brits were in no way did they suffer the kind of loses the USAAF did’
Excuse me?.
RAF Bomber Command lost 55,573 killed out of a total of 125,000 aircrew (thats a 44.4% death rate), with a further 8,403 wounded in action and 9,838 prisoners of war. Almost half dead. Incredible losses.
The USAAF in Europe and N Africa had 350,000 aircrew during the war and suffered 26,000 killed and 23,000 POWs. Thats a death rate of 13.46%. THREE AND A HALF TIMES LESS THAN RAF BOMBER COMMAND.
An RAF Bomber Command crew member had a worse chance of survival than an infantry officer in World War I!.
Your ignorance is frankly shocking.
Your ignorance is shocking. Check the stats. We had bomber groups not only over Europe but Italy as well and the Pacific. All told our losses were much more then the RAF suffered.The RAF didn’t face the Me109s and Fw 190s like our guys did.
