Re: Luftwaffe pilots shot while parachuted

By the way looking at statistics, the USAAF must lost almost as many aircrafts in accidents by mechanical failures, weather, pilot error or whatever that in combat.


No a bit more in fact , as for 1944 total loss in ops. is something like 7.500 planes, nd losses, just in the continental US amounted to 20.000, with more than 5.000 "fatalities", but from the total combat losses only 20 % where from other "causes", than Flak of fighters
