Okay, I've been able to retrieve a copy of Martin Middlebrook's "The
Schweinfurt-Regensburg Mission," August 17th, 1943, which includes a
breakdown of B-17
crewmen killed by crew position on that day. Middlebrook gives the following
info (info

One mission does not a war make. Especially Schweinfort Regensburg which may
be be one he most atypical targets/missions of all. If I think back to the
missions I flew with the 344th and had to name a "typical" mission, I couldn't
do it. We had no typical mssions.. Each one was unique, except of course for
the milk runs, which in themselves were not typical.
