Re: German & Allied radar

Hello Crump
the sortie rate in message #41 is probably misleading, probably comparing the real FC sorties to the LW sorties observed by British. According to Hooton's Eagle in Flame p. 14 LW flew Aug 12-18 2150 bomber sorties of which 1650 were daytime and 3825 fighter sorties vs 4730 FC day and 186 night sorties. So in daytime LW flew more sorties but FC flew more sorties than LW fighters. Of course I should dig out also BC sorties but I have not time for that right now.
