Re: Venik'у -...

Вот тут официальная амерская база данных по авиапотерям в Корейской войне:

А вот некоторые цифры по ее мотивам из соответствующей конфы:

"Thanks to the herculean work by Ron Maynard in posting the KORWALD data base
on the DPMO website, I've finally been able to get some correlations on the
claims and admissions on losses during the air war. The raw numbers are
intriguing.

First off, the total losses for UN Forces appear to be less than 2,900. The
breakdowns are as follows:
USAF <1,663
US Navy 620
USMC 464
FAA/RAN 102
SAAF 60
RAAF 53
RHAF 1

The USAF losses break down this way (part of the problem is multiple
incidents listed for some aircraft, up to three)

Aircraft Total losses UAF USAF Possible
Claim Claim Claim

B-26 168 8 0 1
B-29 109 44 16 11
F-51 367 12 6 -
F-80 319 38 10 1
F-84 247 38 16 5
F-86 240 132 49 39

The UAF Claims are total Soviet, PLAAF, and Korean claims which can be
equated to an airframe of that type lost at that time and that place. The
USAF Claims are aircraft they admit were shot down. The possibles are those
aircraft listed as lost to MiG damage, crashed at base due to MIG fire, etc.
But these are all he-said-he-said exchanges with very few that can be
substantiated by gun camera footage.

Losses on the other side amount to 357 Soviet aircraft, of which 316 were
"players", 3 were out of bounds (1 x A-20 and 2 x MIG-15 from the 83 IAK,
which were not in the Korean War but wandered into the line of fire at the
wrong time) and 231 PLAAF admitted losses. Soviet claims following the same
rules listed above (lost at the point claimed and time claimed) amount to 252
Soviet claims and 6 disputed claims with the PLAAF.

The others are harder to sort out, as both the PLAAF and Koreans simply claim
"Shot down 10 US planes without loss" or other really useless data for
correlating losses versus claims. Verifiable PLAAF claims amount to 9 full
claims and 6 disputed with the VVS. Korean claims amount to 11 full claims
that can be traced to actual losses, either in the air or on the ground.
