PLANES, 18,000 MEN
AN ANALYSIS of the aircraft and personnel lost by Germany and Britain from the outbreak of war on September 3 reveals the tremendous toll which the R.A.F. has taken of its enemy and the limited losses which we sustained in return.
The Germans have lost a total, acco ding to Air Ministry official figures, 2,531 warplanes in ten-and- a-half months of war.
These losses are only those which have fallen to the guns of Royal Air Force machines.
They take no recount of the heavy losses which the enemy has sustaned at the the Polish campaign, in hands of the air forces of Norway. Helland, Belgium, and France.
