Looking through Martin Middlebrooks 'Arnhem 1944' it seems that re-supply aircraft were only engaged by fighters on the 21st September. No gliders being involved on this occasion, but a total of fourteen Stirlings and thirteen Dakotas fell victim to either flak or fighters (he believes that about half of the aircraft were shotdown by fighters).

Tony Woods claims lists have a total of 20 claims for 'DC.3's' by JG26 on 21st September.

It doesn't seem that any transport aircraft towing gliders were engaged by fighters during the initial landings on 17th September.
