Yep, and in reference to Gargamels point about assassination we could also cite the Yamamoto shoot down. Those P-38 pilots had to turn their planes into flying gas cans to reach hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, fight through a strong Zero fighter escort over an enemy held island with no support and and no chance of rescue if they have to ditch or bail.
