SUBJECT: Air Ops losses
DATE: Dec 16th, 1941.

The real operational losses rate is excessive. 51 Aircrafts have been lost by air accidents from Dec 7th to Dec 16th. So much pilots and so much machine lost. The cost to build the machine is so high and the time to train our pilots so large. Then is a TOP PRIORITY to reduce this operational lost rate.

From a total losses of 31 G3M2 we lost 11 by operational causses (more than 30%). Worst is the estadistics from Ki-27, with a total losses of 19 aircrafts, 10 was lost by operational causses (more than 50%). The same from any model, all with 30-70% rates of operational lost.

Upgrading airfields, better air support rates, air ops limited to service needs and lower fatigue in our pilots will improve our figures to limit our operational losses to our target of 10-15%.
