Not quite, the information identical to Andreas Brekken's comes from a slightly different source, reproduced below:

A.D.I.(K) Report No.366/1945
GAF Aircrew and Aircraft Losses to 10.1.45
Period 1.9.39 to 10.1.45
Operational
Aircraft Written off (over 60% damaged)
40613 (1774)
Aircraft Damaged
20492 (820)
Non-Operational
Aircraft Written off (over 60% damaged)
10457 (1043)
Aircraft Damaged
15171 (1614)
Schools and Other Stations
Aircraft Written off (over 60% damaged)
11442 (5659)*
Aircraft Damaged
9931 (5537)*
The figures given in brackets ( ) show the number of school and training aircraft and miscellaneous non-operational types included in the totals
The figures given in brackets ( )* show the numbers of operational types included in the total losses at schools and other stations

For ease of reference, http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showpo...33&postcount=2 is Andreas Brekken's post from the 21st September 2009.

Are there any ideas as to other sources which may be useful?
