Re: Huge Luftwaffe Victories over USAAF?
Bill - I should be a little more diligent when I look these up. Ex. 3 - 29 -44 I see there were 3 lost to accidents and 2 to AA.
On 6 - 10 - 44 the 78th lost 9 to enemy Fighters
6 -12 - 44 353d lost 9 '' '' ''
3 - 4 - 44 363d lost 11 '' ''' '''
The reference I use the most is the 4 volume set by Paul Andrews
1) Heavy Bombers of the Mighty Eighth - by name / serial #
2) Mighty Eighth Roll of Honor- 45, 000 names , macr , group etc. for Bomb crews and Fighter Pilots KIA, WIA, MIA , POW , evadees
3)8th AF Combat Chronology - day by day losses of Bomb and Fighter Groups. Names , location , macr includes accidents.
4) 8th AF Bomb Group Chronology - day by day Bomb Group losses. Lists bombers lost by Group. A/ C # , crew list , macr.
This study was commissioned by 8th Air Force Memorial Museum Foundation as " Project Bits and Pieces "
I also have Miller's 2 volume set and about a 300 book library.
