Re: Bomber Command aircraft losses

A rule of thumb has been that about as many aircraft were lost in training as in combat, so this suggests that the 8,000+ losses are combat losses and the 14,000+ total. In which case I suspect it does include those lost on the ground. However, without proper definitions it's impossible to judge on such limited information.
