Re: Totals of RAF Bomber Command aircraft losses on night operations in WWII?
Thanks for these further statistics -I must say that the different statistics do vary somewhat. I have, for example, documented 2,225 Bomber Command a/c lost on ops during 1943 -against these losses, for the new book series I have documented 1,794 Nachtjagd claims in the West plus 682 Luftwaffe and Marine Flak claims, 270 of the latter being contested by the Nachtjagd. Almost all of these claims have now been matched to BC losses and, in some cases, to a/c that managed to return (badly) shot up.
Cheers, Theo
