Not very realistic or historically accurate.

Not to quibble, but do they give a date for the missions? The first raid, on August 17, 1942, consisted of 12 B-17Es. By the end of that year there were only three bomb groups comprising 36 aircraft. By April 1943 they were running multiple bomber boxes, each made up of 54 planes.

Actually at the beginning of their career a couple dozen B-17s is realistic and historically accurate.
