Re: Question about total RAF losses in World War Two
Hello Paul
The WW2 accident files I mentioned could probably also include Motor Transport and Aerodrome ground accidents (those classed as being while on RAF Service)? The Department suggested those checked were injury only, but who really knows as they were stacked on pallets and had no database?
Statistics Branch
The WW2 Air Ministry were big on Statistics and even had a Statistics Branch and I would have thought the information you are seeking is formally recorded somewhere?
There is a stack of stuff in the TNA, but it is knowing what file titles to try. One file with a bang on file title reveals nothing and yet another file with a general subject title contains gems of information to the searcher about particular aircraft type, aviation subject, or place etc.
FOI was a waste of time, once the £600 search limit was reached.
