Schweinfurt know as Mission
both sides will airspawn and head for target(V82)

History:
After being postponed several times by unfavorable
weather, the operation, known within the Eighth
Air Force as "Mission No. 84", was flown on the
anniversary of the first daylight raid by the Eighth
Air Force.
Mission No. 84 was a strike by 376 bombers of sixteen
bomb groups against German heavy industry well beyond
the range of escorting fighters. The mission inflicted heavy
damage on the Regensburg target, but at catastrophic loss
to the force, with 60 bombers lost and many more damaged
beyond economical repair. As a result, the Eighth Air Force
was unable to follow up immediately with a second attack
that might have seriously crippled German industry. When
Schweinfurt was finally attacked again two months later,
the lack of long-range fighter escort had still not been
addressed and losses were even higher. As a consequence,
deep penetration strategic bombing was curtailed for five
months.
