Re: Leskovac, YU/SB, 6 September 1944, 15th AF mission

In the case of the Leskovac September 6 bombing, there were some 260 short tons dropped, and more than 1000 civilian casualties. That makes a rather high ratio of 4 killed per ton.

By comparison, in all Allied bombings of Belgrade, there were some 2750 short tons dropped, with some 1400 civilian casualties - an average of 0,5 killed per ton.
Though, this average varied quite a lot, in some cases there were no civilian casualties, while in others there were hundreds.
