Re: Is there a list of ships sunk by the Luftwaffe?
Paul,
May I add to the list of references the books of Chris Shores? First, the two volumes published so far of A History of the Mediterranean Air War, which cover the period of June 1940 to March 1943 in North Africa. These cover operations from Northeast Africa, and should cover all sinkings by aircraft of the British, Italian, German and American forces in this period. The period of November 1942 to May 1943 will be covered in volume three, work on which has just started.
Operations from Malta are covered in the earlier Malta: The Hurricane Years (1940 to 1941), and Malta: The Spitfire Year (1942). Further operations from Malta will appear in forthcoming volumes of Mediterranean Air War. The former is out of print, but used copies are not hard to find. The latter has just been reprinted.
The earlier Air War for Yugoslavia, Greece and Crete 1940-41 also has details of ship losses to aircraft, with appendices listing the losses. Additional research in this area has been done by others, so these lists may be incomplete. This one is also out of print, and seems to be just a little expensive.
Hope this helps.
Frank.
co-author of the MAW series.
