It is about 1700 airmen who set out to bomb the oil refineries surrounding the city of Ploesti, Romania, on August 1, 1943. Success, they thought, would be a force in ending the war. Success instead was extremely limited and 500 airmen were killed, wounded, captured, or interned. Negligible damage resulted at the Ploesti refineries, and a few months later they were operating at one-hundred percent capacity. To show the asperity of the raid, five Congressional Medals of Honor were awarded, two posthumously. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Ploiești, Battles of, Ploiești, Romania, 1943-1944. 650 0 Bombing, Aerial|zRomania|zPloiești|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xAerial operations, American. 700 1 Brinkmann, Robert. 700 1 Worley, Rob. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 14586699?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ral_9781493061884_180.jpeg
