Re: B-17 Losses 4 Jul 43
Were they all shot down by fighters? None lost to AA or mechanical failure?
A discussion in another forum relating to WW1 has brought up instances where AA or mechanical failure were the cause of the loss, but attribution was made to German fighter pilots based on vague evidence of damage inflicted and proximity of the downed aircraft to the claim for it's destruction. As with WW1 the Luftwaffe is flying over it's own territory and each crashed aircraft has several possible ends.
