No specific dates within the month. The earliest page I have is from Jan-40 (p.100), the latest, Nov-40 (p.246). Does anyone have a complete set of these, and if so, are there any references to He 111J aircraft lost at the end of May-40 - first of Jun-40?

Other than that, got nothing. The loss reports are replete with transcription errors - we're talking clerks manually typing what's presented to them. Did errors occur from the source info or the typists? (And if my typing is anything to go by, we're danged lucky they seem to be as accurate as they are!!)
