Re: Aircraft ferry routes over the Pacific

Hi Felix. These are the routes to June 1942 ( and subsequently) including USA-Australia; from 1943 to the Gilbert & Ellis Is, Marshalls and Marianas.
Also Study 33 the general account of Ferry and Transport Services......

Losses for this area are in "Army Air Forces Statistical Digest WWII" (p.186 all losses overseas, p.209 losses enroute to overseas by Theatre/type). Note that "Pacific Ocean Area" (POA) is Seventh AF pre-July 1945 and Air Forces in Middle Pacific from July; "Far East Air Forces" (FEAF) is Fifth / Thirteenth AFs and Seventh from July; "Twentieth AF" is XX / XXI Bomber Commands to end of war.
