.. not forgetting Roba's large tome which will be available later this year via Lela Presse (avions-bateaux.com)

I wonder, do you put a list of losses of KG 40 (combat, non-combat duties)?

Yes for I, III and IV Gruppe but that will be in the Classic book as so far it numbers 56 pages (and add to that the combat list which resulted in no casualties)

Chris,

Have you ever wondered at the ratio of losses?

Can you give a proportion of the losses combat for non combat?

For example 60 to 40 or 30 to 70?

I am afraid that I have never looked at it this way and it would take some time especially when one takes into consideration the various % of damage. However, I can say that non-combat outnumbered combat

[Mirek Wawrzynski]

Thanks,

This is interesting, because many people think, that combat losses are dominant in war. And sometimes is different, it is not so simple and easy.

I seem to recal being told that in 1944 the Allies were losing an average of 24 aircraft a day in accidents. Understandable. As to Condors they were very prone to problems as you no doubt know
