Watching series with family, who were quite upset at the fatality rate of the American forts —flying daytime bombing missions — and unsurprisingly, being greeted by German anti air flak and German fighters as they approach the coast.
Absolutely brutal. Yet we know why these brave American lads were indeed “the greatest generation.” The bravery, courage, and loyalty of these airmen is remarkable.
But Jesus! Maybe clear skies is not the safest platform to deliver bombs to target? Maybe not let the enemy see you coming? Maybe the British officers have a point that night missions provide more cover?
