This is from my own database - Losses on operational sorties at night 03.09.39 to 08.05.45
It includes a few USAAF sorties while flying with RAF on night ops and it includes all losses over the UK on return from ops. It does not include where a crew landed away from base and were then lost on the ferry flight back to base after an op
It includes SD flights of all sorts
It would take an hour to type in all the caveats and explain what counts and what does not but this will give you a clue. Use it if you want. Ignore it if you don't
