pad152 -> Aircraft Damage & Aircraft Pools (7/9/2008 7:16:18 AM)

Aircraft Damage & Aircraft Pools Was any thing done to account for aircraft scraped for parts or just worn out, something to limit the growing the number of aircraft in pools! It wasn't uncommon to scrape two or three aircraft just to keep one flying do to part shortages. I understand for the US Army beyond 1943 it was at times easier to get a new plane than it was to get spare parts, this lead to the closet queens (perfectly good planes scraped for spare parts)! I always though that air combat in BTR was too high, but never accounted for aircraft loses that were written off do to lack of spare parts or planes just worn out!
