Re: German ATA?
It appears that many of the Luftwaffe personnel used for ferrying were those without operational experience, hence a high attrition rate.
On civilian ferry pilots, US sources include:
German Air Force List of ’ Civilian’ Ferry Pilots, A.I. 12, US Air Forces Europe, 22 January 1946, National Archives RG 243 Entry 36 Box 176;
Status and Duties of Civilian Pilots in the German Air Force, A.I. 12 Intelligence Report 114, US Air Forces Europe, 22 January 1946, National Archives, RG 165 Entry 79 Box 47.
