Spood Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I mentioned in the Xmas pressie thread that Mrs Spood had given me a book on WW2 airfields in Herefordshire and Worcestershire, a fascinating book as; 1 It's local to us. 2 I work on the site of one of the featured airfields. What prompted me to write was that after reading through it I am stunned at how many planes and crews were lost in accidents due to, mechanical failures, bad weather, bad luck or just bad flying. When you think that it involves just a small number of airfields compared to the amount that were active during the war, frontline or otherwise, it makes you wonder just how many crews/planes were lost not involving combat. The statistics are probably recorded somewhere, anybody any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
