There are data of US monthly data on delivery of actually complete aircraft?
Did you not notice reply #5? There's a link to the statistical digest of WWII.
Kinda quibling - AAF accepance = contractor gets paid for complete aircraft was agreed by AC contract stipulation. Mod centers get paid for complete changes/mods that AAF desired AFTER contract stipulation have been met.I now know and also you all, if you read this forum, that the acceptances of US WWII statistical digest are not delivery actual complete aircraft, they go to modification center before to go to the unit
Too bad the Navy doesn't save the SAME DATA, huh? It would be very nice to be able to do a comparison, but the Navy doesn't break out air and ground kills directly and the USAAF doesn't give us the same table the Navy does for victories. So, we're left to dig out what we can.
Ah well. Nobody ever said it would be easy!
Funny, Table 25 in the Naval Aviation Combat Statistics shows overall Air-to-Air (the maddening bombers & fighters only) and a separate column for aircraft destroyed on the ground, for the entire war. Table 26 shows same for major campaign areas. Obviously someone was keeping a separate count.Sorry, I said that backwards above, but the conclusion is correct.
The Navy breaks out Losses on action sorties to aircraft, AAA, and Operational losses, and shows air and ground kills. They also show Total victories without breaking out air and ground victories. That comes from Naval Aviation Combat Statistics for World War Two.
