This data comes from the files of Henk Welting. Late Henk Welting lost his struggle with life and passed away in 2012. Henk was a prolific member of the RAFCommands Forum with a mission to document the causes of death of many of the unsung airmen of the Second World War. His posts on Unaccounted airmen/airwomen has had a marked effect on the site and his work is continued as part of the CWGC Unaccounted Airmen Database. As part of his Database, Henk maintained a loss database with the bare details - over 40,000 aircraft losses. That secondary data is presented here
