Re: How many Luftwaffe crews were in Spain?
Hi Mirek!
I found some Legion Condor statistics in "Luftwaffe - działania bojowe" by Marek Murawski.
Pilots were send on 9 months combat tour (except instructors)
About 20 000 mens served on Legion (but only 6 500 simunaltaneously)
Total mortal losses: 298 airmens (173 - KIA, 97 - accidents, 28 - other causes)
A huge number of 125 officers and 250 NCO's passed throught J/88 figter squadron (39 of them recievied a Knight Cross).
Missions of leading aces:
Olt Harder - 297 combat sorties
Lt Galland - 280
Lt Pingel - 150
Lt Oesau - 130
bregs,
Marcin
