Re: RAF losses over Holland september 1944 map

Hello Schnautzer,

First of all: what a good idea to build such a map, gives an impressive look on the many crashes!
Secondly, I looked (of course) to the crashes near my hometown Venlo and saw a new RAF unit: 3./Nachtschlacht Gruppe 2 which of course should be a Luftwaffe loss.

Keep up the good work, best regards, Marcel

Re: RAF losses over Holland september 1944 map

Hello Schnautzer

An excellent website - my late father served with 125 Wing HQ, and was amongst the first there in the advance party of the ground echelon when the RAF took over at Grave/Keent.

My only suggestions are:

change Liasson to Liaison and all the Stirlings lost around the Arnhem area that I have checked were from 38 Group RAF, and would have been on glider towing and supply drop missions and were not bombers.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operati...rder_of_battle for a list of the Stirling squadrons operating in the transport role.

regards

Allan

Thanks - and can you remove the Stirling IV's from Bombers and place them in Transports along with the C47/Dakotas, as they were not equipped for bombing - only glider tug and supply drop missions.
