American Warplane Losses In Europe Less Than 5 Per Cent Oct, 27 WASHINGTON, Despite heavy losses in sonto raids, American airplane losses in the European theater have averaged less than five per cent on each mission, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson said today. The five per cent Stimson told covers all a press conference, American fighter and bomber operations since the Eighth air force went into action in 1942. British losses also are running below five per cent on an over-al- l basis, he said. Stimson said a final evaluation of enemy losses in the Oct. 14 raid on Schwcinfurt, in which the Amorlcuns lost 60 heavy indicated 186 enemy bombers, fighter planes were destroyed and 27 others probably destroyed. "The question naturally arises: Can we afford such heavy losses as incurred on the Schweinfurt raid?" Stimson said. "They are countered bv light losses on other operations. He cited, for example, a raid carried out by 501 American planes recently on air fields in northern France, which inflicted heavy damage without the loss of a single American plane. |
