I think they really do need to be treated with care.

On 24 July, 15 Halifaxes attacked the Scharnhorst at La Pallice. 5 aircraft were lost. 79 Wellingtons, 18 Hampdens plus three Fortress 1s attacked Brest on the same day. 10 Wellingtons and 2 Hampdens were lost - the three Fortresses returned safely.
