resulted in extremely high casualties...i.e. focusing on severing Hitler's ability to conduct war, while also risking American lives to try and save German civilian lives with "Daylight" missions totally exposed to German fighters and anti-aircraft guns.
From the attached history of the 8th AF....
--------------------
From May 1942 to July 1945, the Eighth planned and precisely executed America's daylight strategic bombing campaign against Nazi-occupied Europe, and in doing so the organization compiled an impressive war record. That record, however, carried a high price. For instance, the Eighth suffered about half of the U.S. Army Air Force's casualties (47,483 out of 115,332), including more than 26,000 dead.

btw, let me know when you're ready to return to the abortion topics we were discussing before you left for Vegas.
