One of the "famous" targets for its vast expanse of oil refinieries. Perhaps the most well known raid was by a force of 178 USAAF Libs at very low level on August 1, 1943 with losses of almost 30%. However, RAF units hit the refineries as well. http://www.b17sam.com/ploesti.html http://www.airartnw.com/tidalwave.htm http://cas.awm.gov.au/photograph/MED1863
