etc is surprisingly good.

Juha,

That's right. Even though Wikipedia's reputation is deservedly bad, it is good at what it does, namely providing summaries of web sources. Uboat.net, Warsailors and Wrecksite have been brought together on the Wikipedia lists, the thing to do next is to verify the result and resolve discrepancies among the sources. I aim to start doing that on the blog that I've mentioned in my answer to Nick.

http://www.schiffswrackliste.de/

Within the past two years, several individuals active on Axis History Forum have stated that they are working on comprehensive lists of WWII ships sunk or damaged by aircraft. Some searching over there might lead you to these individuals.

Larry, thank you again! I didn't know about Miramar Ship Index, that will be a most useful addition to the source collection. As mentioned above, I'll set about contacting the Axis History members.

Dénes, I have had exactly the same problem. I have got your book and will make use of it! I wonder, thinking of "the other side of the hill", do you happen to have a list of Romanian naval losses to aircraft? I am thinking especially of the vessels lost to air-dropped mines on the Danube, since these seem to have attracted very little coverage.
