Again... :-) 48 examples with Werknummeren and Stammkennzeichen I have from JFM pilots logbooks. Only two in second batch, KT+VA and KT+VB (352/100001 and 100002) do not appear in them books I have seen copies of. I can not say if they were destroyed in air attacks, as them last were flown in mid September 1944. Here this Lieferplan seems be in error. Lieferprogramīs are not entierly reliable as total source. Most often they "understate", and, same as other countries, some (many) planes were lost before delivery. Newest example be A400 in Spain recently. These five (or three) "missing" might indeed have been still with JFM, as undelivered or at other agency, ie. not appear as planes built for the Luftwaffe.

I will send as pdf your regular mail-box.
