Re: Why the USAAF gave up on the A-36 in favour of the P-47.
Hello
checked the reasons of the losses of the 10 merchantmen lost to air attacks from Convoy PQ18, 9 were torpedoed and one, which the crew managed to beach but which was not salvaged, was hit by both torpedo and bombs. Against some earlier convoys Ju 88 dive-bombers had been more successful. LW losses during the attacks on PQ 18 were also heavy, some 28-31 planes.
