The U.S. Eighth Air Force suffered
over 26,000 combat deaths during World War II, a figure higher than the total casualties sustained by the entire United States Marine Corps. Known as the "Mighty Eighth," they experienced extremely high fatality rates, with 77% of airmen serving before D-Day becoming casualties.
