Re: Losses due to tropical storms?
'The Forgotten Fifth', by Michael John Claringbould has quite a bit of detail on USAAF losses over New Guinea and the Philipines from 1942 to 1945.
He also co-wrote a book dealing with the worst weather loss the Fifth suffered titled 'Black Sunday' . It occurred on April16, 1944. In that storm the Fifth lost 37 aircraft (a mix of fighters and bombers).
Fire in the Sky, by Eric Bergerud also devotes a whole chapter to the effects of weather in the Pacific, and how it affected both the US and Japanese air forces.
