Luftwaffe Ju52 strength on 29/06/40 and 28/09/40?

Sid,

On 29.06.40, there were 408 "Transport" aircraft listed on strength, of which 301 were serviceable. This figure improved to 415/350 respectively for 28.09.40. UInfortuately the source - Strength and Serviceability tables compiled for VI Abt. records; AWM 54 423/4/103 Part 100 - don't break that figure down, but I would presume the vast majority of these figures refer to the Ju 52.
