10,000 Airmen and 800 Bombers

From March 1944 to June 1944 (emphasis added) the 8th Army Air Forces lost some 10,000 airmen, 800 heavy bombers (these are B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators) and 500 fighters. This according to Paul Manning's "Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile" publication(1).

While the context of Manning's publication is highly suspect (that Bormann survived the war, and lived in South America until the at least the 1980s), his report on 8th AAF losses is probably reasonable and realistic.
