Bomber crews suffered the highest casualty rate of any combat arm, 
including infantry and amphibious assault troops, of the US in WW2 (10% 
war-long average, some missions saw 50% losses, 30% fatalities). 
 Neither can hold a candle to German U-boat crews, who suffered a 
war-long total 85% fatal casualties.
