Re: Allied air superiority in 1944: P-47 D Razorback decided it?

Paul - Don C does include casualties in Table B "Reich defense force missions against the 8th AF" and Table D for the 15th AF.

Some more food for thought. The Defense of Reich sorties against US escort for March, April and May, 1944 was 40,422.

From September 1942 through December 1943 the total sorties against US escort fighters was 12, 538.

January/February 1944 showed 14,277 - more than all of 1942 and 1943 - but one third of the next three months preceding D-Day.
