When Americans think of the most dangerous and deadly fighting American forces faced in World War II they usually mention either the Marines in battles like Iwo Jima or the Army in Normandy or the Battle of the Bulge. But the truth of the matter is the flight crews of the American 8th Air Force actually suffered the highest casualty rate of any American unit in any theater of the war.
