well,I disagree with the introduction in the source(but,let not restart a Battle of Britain discussion About the German aircraft losses :there are countless figures available,but,all is depending on what one is counting. Williamson Murray in Luftwaffe gives the following : destroyed on operations (july-september 1940):1455 of which 700 fightersand 620 bombers and Stukas. damaged on operations (same period):483 of which 19O fighters and 264 bombers and Stukas Of course,other authors will give different figures . E.Hooton (considered as very reliable) in :The fall of the Luftwaffe:gives the following Bomber losses during the Blitz (october 1940-june 1941) 518 for some 39000 sorties . And 550 bombers and Stukas and 680 fighters for july-october 1940(he is including aircraft damaged for more than 60 %)and 830 fighters for the RAF . |
