Tell me about it! I've being trying to understand where all the Fw 190 F-8s equipped with TSA 2 bombing systems went — they aren't identified as such in strength returns and I know of only one that was captured. The problem for me is how big were the gaps between 'produced', 'allocated' and 'received'?
Did allocation come before or after an aircraft was completed? Were all completed machines allocated right away? Did units necessarily get what had been allocated to them? (Unlikely, given the state of transport and communications at the end of the war).
