RAF Aircraft Loss Categories - Explanation
In a file containing losses of British and Italian aircraft in the Med in 1941 I have come across the following which I would like to understand. British losses are classed in Categories "E" and "B". "E" has considerably higher numbers (this was during high operational tempo - CRUSADER). I am guessing that "E" could be destroyed on operations, and "B" damaged? Or "E" destroyed by enemy and "B" destroyed in flight accidents? Does anyone know?
Many thanks in advance!
All the best
Andreas
