Re: Totals of RAF Bomber Command aircraft losses on night operations in WWII?

Hello Theo
also in Max Hastings' Bomber Command (2nd Impression 1980) there is Appendix A Bomber Command Sorties Dispatched and Aircraft Missing and Written off. It gives monthly a/c losses divided to day and night losses. Hastings noted that minelaying and special ops sorties are missing and there are some minor omissions because some sqns and groups were careless in their recording practices. But according to him his table contains "the best figures that the RAF is ever likely to compile." He also noted that before Feb. 1942 the info on crash-landings is unreliable and it is not known which of those were written off and which were reparable.
