RAF Middle East Losses Wk ending 29-11-41
The RAF reported heavy losses in that week (AIR20/1934). They included
3x Fortress Cat. B (which I presume to mean B-17) and 2x D.C.2 Cat. B 1x D.C.2 Cat.E (could these be Douglas Bostons?) Can someone provide some more background? In case anyone is interested, they also report a Wellesley lost - I wonder if that was on ops in East Africa? For the strength returns beginning November to February (AIR20/2021) they continue to report 3x Fortress as serviceable, and they do not report any D.C.2 on strength with the command at all for the year 1941 and 1942, but as I said, they might have been Bostons? See here: http://crusaderproject.wordpress.com/2010/05/12/917/ I would very much appreciate to learn more about what went on here. Many thanks!
