• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

B24 Forum

I've never realised the trials and tribulations of USAAF Bomber crews until I watched that show. I never knew the Luftwaffe was that much of a threat right up until D-Day. Some B-17 bomber crews couldnt even see their tagets because of the clouds. I remember the Schweinfurt raids also. The Germans were remarkably astute as well, after a bombing raid, they put their factories back up to near full capacity. An amazing show.
 
I was also startled and amazed while watching the show. What really hit me hard,
and even when I allready knew we took some big losses, I didnt realize just HOW bad
and how hard we really were hit on a majority of these runs. That "Forum" page
really makes you think too.

Gotta say those Brits knew exactly why they were flying night missions!
