Yes, I agree, I met an info that one of the RAF's Dak squadron flying in the Berlin airlift counted only 8 Daks. None the less I am still thinking how many Daks per squadron counted for instance RAF squadron taking part in the Normandy invasion or "Market Garden"? It is not so easy to find such an info.
BTW -- do you know when took place culmination of the British purchases of the Dak Mk IIIs and IVs? Were these aircraft stored due to lack of transport pilots for example? Is that possible that the culmination of the US deliveries of IIIs and IVs took place in 1945?
One more time thank you very much!
Best regards
