Re: Spitfire

Quick sum for NW Europe from my database Sept 39-May 45

Hurricane 2750/916/1160

Spitfire 4654/1464/2920

Destroyed/Probable/Damaged

The Med is going to have to do a lot of heavy lifting to reverse those numbers

If there are supposedly only 11400 claims, the claims above add up to 13864.

If we take only destroyed the Spitfire gets 40.1 % (4654/11400) of the claims just from NW Europe

My own list has a minimum of 10322/2664/5538 for NW Europe (Spitfire, Hurricane, Typhoon, Tempest, Defiant, Mosquito, Beaufighter, Mustang). I stopped listing at that point

Lies, damn lies and statistics. Hmmm
