Breakdown of destroyed US aircraft in Clark Airbase on Dec 8 1941
When Japanese air raid over Clark Airbase and Iba Airfield, many information says that 34 x P-40 and 12 B- 17 bomber were destoryed plus another 50 something. but exactly, any breakdown for other destroyed aircraft on that day ? I see one at Pearl Harbour, very detailed so I guess US must have some record for that ? Anyone have that to share ? Thank

There were 23 P-40Bs of the 20th Pursuit Squadron - 20 were destroyed on the ground. There were 19 B-17Cs and Ds of the 30th and 28th Bomb Squadrons - supposedly 16 were destroyed or badly damaged. Obviously, a number of misc. planes were caught as well, B-18s, O-56s, etc.

Look for the "MacArthur Reports", there may be a list in there.
