Re: "Zerstorer" Hardback by John Vasco and Peter Cornwell - Coming from Wingleader in 2025

Footnotes for the interested.
For those that wish to view for themselves the documents used by M&P across their pages 181/2, these can be found in NARA Microfilm T-177-19, Section RLM 228 (begins image T177-19_0266, Microfilm Frame 3704484)
The key documents they used were:
Image Reference Microfilm Frame Document Date
T177-19_0362 3704579 03-Jul-40 = Evidences Bf 110 D-1 identities as WNrn. 3149-3151 & 3163-3165, and Bf 110 D-0/B as WNrn. 3167, 3175, 3321-3324 & 3336-3344, all included in total of 103 Bf 110 Ds delivered before end-June 1940
T177-19_0409 3704627 09-Feb-40 = Telex from Mtt Augsburg confirming building of 134 Bf 110 C-2 and that the first Bf 110 D Null will be WNr. 3134
T177-19_0551 3704768 18-Apr-40 = Together 0551 & 0552 set out Bf 110 D planning for WNrn. 3134-3202 & 3311-3328, with actual deliveries to 1-Apr-40 also noted
T177-19_0552 3704769 18-Apr-40
[Columnar presentation above is governed by the software in use but hopefully will still be understandable.]
Despite what is stated in T177-19_0362, in the final outcome it is not arithmetically possible to arrive at the totals of 83 D-0 and 52 D-2 deliveries from Mtt reported in LP 18/3 of 01-Nov-40 unless WNr. 3344 is corrected to being a Bf 110 D-0, Rüstzustand II rather than the D-0/B evidenced in this document that was produced only very shortly after these June 1940 deliveries had actually been effected.

For the RLM Delivery Plans:
LP 18/1 is found in BA-MA RL 3/1015
and LP 18/3 in BA-MA RL 3/991
