Re: Allied AC loss in all fronts
Re my earlier post and the questions from Jim:
Does that source also provide loss figures for Fleet Air Arm and the RAF in the Pacific?
Unfortunately the answer is no to both questions. The 1945 Jane's includes a section on the RAF's South-East Asia Command, but this is a narrative of operations in 1944/5 that lacks loss data. There is also a section on the Fleet Air Arm, this again is a narrative covering 1944/5 ops without loss data.
Jane's does devote several pages to the Royal Australian Air Force. These state that, as of 31 December 1944, the RAAF had suffered 8,264 casualties in Europe, the Middle East and Canada, including 4,525 killed and 4,845 casualties in the South-West Pacific, Far East and China-India, including 2,352 killed.
