Operation Tidal Wave Operation Tidal Wave was a World War II aerial bombardment operation by a composite strike force of five bomb groups from the United States Eighth and Ninth Air Forces to destroy the oil refineries at Ploieşti, Romania, on 1 August 1943. The operation was devised by Colonel (later General) Jacob E. Smart based on the experiences derived from the June 1942 Halverson Project (HALPRO) raid. This attack, by 12 B-24Ds of the Halverson Project, which eventually provided the nucleus for the 376th Bomb Group "Liberandos," caused minimal damage, but demonstrated the feasibility of such a mission in the eyes of American planners. Operation Tidal Wave involved a total commitment of 178 B-24 Liberator heavy bombers on a 2,400-mile round trip flight to conduct low-level attack on the refineries. All aircraft were based near Benghazi, Libya. Brigadier General Uzal Girard Ent was in overall command of American forces during the mission. The operation was notable as one of the most costly in terms of aircraft and crew members lost by the United States Army Air Forces during the strategic bombing campaign over Europe and resulted in five Medal of Honor recipients.
