1943 ~ The US Army Air Force had its wrist slapped smartly with the loss of 147 B-17's shot down or damaged beyond repair during the Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission

Regensburg/Schweinfurt was a collossal mission, a time when men flew into overwhelming defences to achieve their goal, but my trust of this source is diminished by his claim that Stukas bombed the Allied bomber stream with timed bombs.
