I've seen many photos of USAAF aircraft loaded on ships for transport to England. But I've never read how many aircraft (as cargo) were lost due to ships being sunk by U-Boats during transit. I seem to recall somewhere that when the P-51C introduced a dorsal fin, that fins were manufactured for retrofitting to in-service P-51B's -- but that the ship carrying all of these dorsal fins was sunk.
Are there any estimated or actual numbers, and perhaps by aircraft type? When I search, it seems like I just come up with aircraft lost operationally (not as cargo).
