Re: Luftflotte 4 losses Apr.-Jun.1943: a comparison of the different data
Hello, all
In addition to the sources you have nicely summed up, Nikita, we have all the bits and pieces as transferred between units on both a detailed level and a aggregated level.
These additional sources are not complete - to give a picture I would say they are only singular stamps from a stamp collection taken by the wind...
To your question on aircraft that were on transport etc, the moment the aircraft were listed as damaged and going for repair this would be out of the units roster - and on the roster of the industry. Vice versa - when an aircraft was on its way from the industry to a unit it would go for example from having the following 'owners':
Flzg.-Werke Erla
Flzg.Überführ.G.1
Flugzeugleitst.Lfl. 2
3./JG 53
Before the aircraft was taken over by the frontline units, a loss would be recorded in the Flugzeugunfälle und Verluste bei den Schulen un sonstigen Dienststellen, see for example the large number of Ju 87's reported by the Flugzeugleitstelle/Lfl.2 at Bari on April 26th 1943.
Regards,
Andreas B
