I don't know the RAF loss rates but the Boston was well liked in the RAF but they much preferred the earlier versions without the powered turret.

Even before the start of WWII the Italians were not at all convinced that "Germany is truly your Friend" so Fascism tried to convice them with street posters like this
and songs, like this

but the bombing of the Italian Cities, the defeats everywhere and the food getting more and more scarce were by far more convincing that all the propaganda rigged up by the "Regime".

Same aircraft as in Post #9455. Caption says "Handley Page Halifax B Mark II, HR837 'NP-F', of No. 158 Squadron." Hit by a falling bomb

... if it was falling, surely the skin would be folded into the puncture. This looks like an upward thrust, IMHO 
Rp's hit a building after being fired fromRAF Typhoons !

Re the Halifax pic - in one of my books there is some info regarding the incident, and the crew. The damage was from a falling bomb, and the skin has been punched inwards. What appears to be upward damage aft of the turret is the remains of the turret ring fairing, hanging loose.

Impact pushed skin in, ripped rivets loose, loose skin ripped rearward by slipstream.... if it was falling, surely the skin would be folded into the puncture. This looks like an upward thrust, IMHO
