Re: Average number of the RAF Dakotas per Sqdn
Dear Empiricist,
My father served on three Dakota Sqns - 575 Sqn for D-Day, 48 Sqn for Arnhem and 238 Sqn in India & Far East.
For D-Day 575 Sqn had over 30 Dakotas on strength, though I think only 20 Dakotas were used on 5th / 6th June 1944.
48 Sqn , 233 Sqn, 271 Sqn, and 512 Sqn all had similar numbers of aircraft.
