Yes, one crash and loss of life is too many. These guys were brave souls going up in these planes. It bears keeping in mind that the B-25 was designed barely 30 years after Kitty Hawk. WWII planes were very, very spartan. The reports from the crew describing their relatively short flight give testimony to this. Designed to maximize deadly payload, comfort and crew safety were often of secondary concern as America’s war machine churned out, on average, over 100 planes each day.
