A list of the losses of JG 52 is available on the Net: http://www.denkmalprojekt.org/Verlus..._vl_chrono.htm

For 1943, JG 52 lost:
55 KIA
9 KIFA
4 POW
52 MIA
so at least 120 lost pilots
But they were also
1 interned in Turkey
2 "MIA" who returned later to the unit
49 WIA
3 WIFA
At least some of them were also probably "lost", at least never flew again.

JG-77 181 lost pilots versus 175 lost pilots of JG-52, very close figures.

Re: JG 27, 52,53 and 77 pilot losses for 1943
 

And additionly 4 pilots from DRK Suchliste

Re: JG 27, 52,53 and 77 pilot losses for 1943
 

Now even 179 vs. 181!

Thanks a lot.

So it is: JG 27 – 181, JG 52 – 179, JG 53 – 270 (!).

More about JG 27:

I./ JG 27
02-08.43 Rechsverteidigung/Western – 26 pilots
09-12.43 Austria – 9 pilots

II./ JG 27
02-07.43 Mediterranean – 51 pilots
09-12.43 Reichverteidigung/Western – 23 pilots

III./ JG 27
04-12.43 Mediterranean/Grece/Italy – 37 pilots

IV./ JG 27
05-12.43 Mediterranean/Grece/Balkans – 34 pilots

II. Gruppe had twice bigger losses then others, specially when it was operating in Mediterranean area, which should be (in theory) easier.

Do you have info about losses of the other JGs in this year – Kanalgeschwadern or JG 3, 51, 54, 77 ?
