Ploesti was also raided from Egypt, mind you, and I believe in one
rather innovative attempt a large raid was staged from England, over a
major Eastern European taget (can't recall where) and then into the

My uncle flew in the first Ploesti raid, the one that went so badly.
His airplane was shot down and he was smuggled out by the Rumanian
Underground.
