Re: US Strategic Bombing Survey No59 - a questionable statement about 1-seat fighters production
Hi Andrey,
Yes, agreed, they're "Zellen"... but again, the numbers for July, Aug, and Sept match *exactly* with the quoted "accepted" figures in the USSBS report, so either the USSBS report was tabulated with incorrect data, or false data was used in this report.
But wait, it gets better... the USSBS "accepted" figures do NOT match with the "Durch Gen.Qu.6 verfügt" numbers quoted in RL 2-VI/202... the USSBS numbers are around 300-400 aircraft lower each month than that quoted in the BA-MA document.
The actual, honest answer to the question of "how many Bf 109s were built during the war" seems to be "who the hell knows", LOL. One can make a very well informed, educated guess... but there is just too much variance in the numbers reported by the Germans themselves to state a firm production number with 100% certainty.
Cheers,
Lynn
