Re: RAF claims and total losses
However don't be distracted by the just the numbers; of the 106 RAF/USAAC aircraft lost during the Dieppe raid, 51 were lost to causes other than by being shot down by aircraft. As far as can be determined these losses were as follows, 36 shot down by flak, 3 by bomber return fire, 4 by Allied friendly fire and 8 due to accidents. So for the Lufwaffe 113 claims (69 JG2, 38 JG26, 5 KG40 and 1 1.(F)123) it seems probable that only 55 aircraft were actually lost due to their actions.
