The bomber losses were incredible. I was on Active Duty at RAF Molesworth UK in the early 90's. 50th anniversary years of WWII. Molesworth is where the European Command's Joint Analysis Center was located at that time. But it had been a bomber base during the war. Classified installation, so we all had to enter through the same door, badge checks, etc. Every day we were there that summer, they posted the mission flown by the bombers stationed at Molesworth. What their target was, how many planes took off and how many came back. It was the same thing day after day with heavy losses.
