Thank you again, Ed!
I try to establish a situation with activity and losses of Luftflotte 4 in the context of Kuban air battles in April-June 1943, related topic is:
http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...tflotte+losses
The problem is a great discrepancy between Abgang in "Flugzeugbestand und Bewegungsmeldungen" and piece-by-piece calculation of the losses and damages from GQM returns.
Hungarian Air Forces weren't on Kuban but their unknown losses in Luftflotte 4 area creates an uncertainty in analysis of Luftwaffe units losses. Many Soviet inspection acts about downed Axis planes contains a detailed description of the damages but unfortunately none digit or letter from the aircraft (WNr, board code etc). So the comparison with GQM returns is possibly by type of aircraft and date/place of the loss only.
Maybe Dénes Bernád can help with Hungarian AF losses for April-June 1943.
Best regards,
Andrey
