Re: Losses due to tropical storms?

The 131 (Eagle) squadron story is complicated by the delays caused by the bomber formation they were escorting, and the fighter pilots' reluctance to leave their compatriots unescorted. If we were to count every aircraft lost because of incorrect headwinds (assuming we could!) the list would be very much longer.
