Re: "Daventry" broadcasts of USAAF + RAF losses

Hi Don,

I figure that 'Daventry' may have been used colloquially by the Germans to refer to news and information broadcast by the BBC Empire Service and the BBC European Service.


In terms of losses, I suspect that British policy at least was to only admit to aircraft that were 'missing', and not aircraft that crashed in friendly territory.

Cheers

Rod
