The mission has been called the “longest, bloodiest, most heroic bombing mission in history.” The day would come to be known as Black Sunday. Five men would receive Medals of Honor for their bravery.
Wow. I knew of the mission and some of the costs of the mission, even of the 5 MOH awardees for that mission. But, I wasn't aware that every person on the mission was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. 180 B-24s. Can you imagine? Thank you Tara.

Thank you for the prompt reply to my question!
Wednesday! (They were in the water for a long time. 😐)
Unbelievable courage in the face of chaos.
Thank you for continuing your mission to keep the history alive.
Don't known what to say. I hope the heavy loss of brave men and their bombers was justified in the damage inflicted on the enemy.
Sadly, I don't think it was.
So Sorry about that.
