ヨーロッパと太平洋の戦闘の激しさの差は、受傷したパイロットの死亡率の差が物語る

第8空軍17.6％
ブーゲンビル配属の米陸軍航空隊　37.5％

万一ケガしても安全に帰れるのがヨーロッパ

Fatality Rates

Table 187 compares the regional frequency of wounds and the case fatality rates in the Eighth Air Force in Europe and in the ground forces at Bougainville.

The marked difference in fatality rates in wounds of the head and neck (17.6 percent for Eighth Air Force casualties as compared with 37.5 percent at Bougainville) is at least partly
due to the fact that a large number of the wounds of the head in Eighth Air Force casualties were mild lacerations due to Plexiglas fragments.
Casualties due to flak fragments only in the Eighth Air Force and the casualties at Bougainville are compared in table 202.
