Friends!
Does anybody have info about exact losses of heavy and long-range bombers of USA, UK and USSR during WWII (on each type of model)?

BIGpanzer - while only I'm indirectly addressing your inquiry, the Official Bomber Command site is a good place to start your searches.
For example, according to this site, 3,345 out of 7,373 Lancasters delivered were lost on operations.

There's a more detailed breakdown for British bombers at http://www.lancaster-archive.com/bc-stats.html
Overall figures for US bombers can be found at: http://www.maxwell.af.mil/au/afhra/wwwr ... tions.html but I don't think they provide losses per model, just per category.

Thanks a lot, friends for the interesting links!
I will try to find something in addition by myself and post the info here. It will be perfect to discuss here the exact losses of all main types of heavy and long-range bombers, were used by the Allies: how much were lost in action, which operation was the most hard for each type of bomber, how much flights were made by each type of the bomber, % of their losses and so on. Please, any info is welcome!
Lets discuss, for example, the following types of bombers: British heavy Avro Lancaster and medium Vickers Wellington, US heavy Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, heavy Boeing B-29 Superfortress and medium Martin B-26 Marauder, Soviet heavy Petlyakov Pe-8 and long-range medium Iljushin DB-3F (Il-4).

British heavy bomber Avro Lancaster
Some info about the best British heavy bomber Avro Lancaster I could find (I mean losses mainly). 7378 were produced in October 1941-February 1946.
Defensive armament – 8-10x7.69 or 2x12.7 + 6x7.69 (Mk.VII, Mk.X), up to 6400-10000 kg of bombs.
Specifications for Lancaster I: empty weight 12.1 t; full weight 31.1 t; dimensions 21.1x31 m; speed 338-462 km/h; 4x1640 hp engines; altitude 7.5 km; range with 5.5 t of bombs 2800 km; crew 7 men.
There were a lot of modifications, including transport and anti-submarine, but the main bomber modifications were as the following:
Lancaster I (engines Merlin XX, 22, 24) – 896 copies by Avro (including 243 made from Avro 679 Manchester details), 944 copies by Metropolitan-Vickers (including 57 made from Avro 679 Manchester details), 535 copies by Vickers-Armstrong, 150 copies by Austin Motors and 919 copies by Armstrong-Whitworth.
Lancaster II (engines Hercules IV, XIV) – 300 copies by Armstrong-Whitworth
Lancaster III (engines Merlin 28, 38, 224; enlarged canopy of bombardier) – 2774 copies by Avro, 136 copies by Metropolitan-Vickers, 110 copies by Armstrong-Whitworth.
Lancaster VI (engines Merlin 85, 87) – 2 copies of modified Lancaster I and 7 copies of modified Lancaster III without front and upper turrets, equipped with improved radar and radio-frequency interference equipment.
Lancaster VII (Lancaster III with upper turret Martin for 2x12.7mm) – 180 copies by Austin Motors
Lancaster X (Canadian Lancaster III with engines Merlin 38, 224 and upper turret for 2x12.7, also differ equipment) – 430 copies by canadian Victory Aircraft Ltd.
Also many special bomber modifications were produced – for heavy 3632 kg, 5448 kg and 9988 kg (Grand Slam - the most heavy WWII bomb) bombs, for bouncing cylindrical bombs of Wallis-type (dambusting raids), with radar H2S, etc. For example, 33 copies of Lancaster I Special were produced for carrying super heavy Grand Slam bomb (enlarge bomb bay without doors), tropical variants Lancaster F.E. Mk.I for Australia and New Zealand (didn't see action during WWII).
Main operations: night massive bombing of Germany, Italy, France since March 1942 as the main British heavy bomber, day massive bombing of Germany since September 1944, damage (raids from Soviet Arkhangelsk, 15.09.1944 and 28.10.1944) and destruction (raid from Scotland, 12.11.1944) of German battleship "Tirpitz" with 5-t "Tall Boy" bombs, bombing of German missile scientific centre at Penemunde in August 1944, bombing Hitler's residence in Bavarian Alps in spring 1945.
The most famous use of the Lancaster was probably the 1943 mission, codenamed Operation "Chastise", to destroy the dams of the Ruhr Valley using special drum shaped bouncing bombs designed by Barnes Wallis, and carried by modified Mk. IIIs (nevertheless, 8 from 19 Lancasters were shot down).
Lancasters were very good heavy bombers despite the fact that their predecessor Avro 679 Manchester had two unreliable engines Rolls-Royce Vulture (1160 hp each). Lancasters with much more better engines Merlin had excellent bomb capacity, good flight performance, powerful armament and high endurance.
Early models of Lancaster suffered from unreliable wing construction (several accidents happened during manoeuvring when wingtips were broken by airflow), later wings were improved. Also upper gunners quite often damaged tail units by MG fire so the special restrictors for turrets were installed.
More than 156000 combat flights were made by Lancasters, they dropped 618350 t of high-explosive and 51.000.000 fire bombs. 57 squadrons of RAF were equipped with Lancasters.
They were used by UK and Australia, USSR repaired and reequipped two damaged Lancasters (one was used as transport plane in 16th squadron of White Sea flotilla AF and another as transport plane in 70th transport regiment of North Navy AF).
Losses of Avro Lancaster:
Probably, 3249 Lancasters were lost in action (almost half of the used Lancasters!). One of the first heavy loss took place on 17 April 1942 near Augsburg when 7 from 12 Lancasters were shot down by German fighters and AA fire (that was day raid without fighters support against submarine shipyard). Only 35 Lancasters completed more than 100 successful operations. The greatest survivor completed 139 operations and survived the war, to be scrapped in 1947. According to RAF statistics for 1943 one Short S.29 Stirling was lost for every 49 t of dropped bombs, one Handley Page Hp.57 Halifax was lost for every 56 t of dropped bombs and one Avro 683 Lancaster was lost for every 132 t of dropped bombs!
There are 16 known Avro Lancasters remaining in the world, two of which remain in airworthy condition.
Losses in 1942 with the date, place and tactical numbers of Lancasters:

............... :roll: I hope I mentioned all 3249 lost Lancasters
The photo of British heavy bomber Avro Lancaster (1942-1946, 7378 copies)
is from http://www.dday-overlord.com/img/avi/avro_lancaster.jpg
Defensive armament – 8-10x7.69 or 2x12.7 + 6x7.69 (Mk.VII, Mk.X), up to 6400-10000 kg of bombs.
Specifications for Lancaster I: empty weight 12.1 t; full weight 31.1 t; dimensions 21.1x31 m; speed 338-462 km/h; 4x1640 hp engines; altitude 7.5 km; range with 5.5 t of bombs 2800 km; crew 7 men.
There were a lot of modifications, including transport and anti-submarine, but the main bomber modifications were as the following:
Lancaster I (engines Merlin XX, 22, 24) – 896 copies by Avro (including 243 made from Avro 679 Manchester details), 944 copies by Metropolitan-Vickers (including 57 made from Avro 679 Manchester details), 535 copies by Vickers-Armstrong, 150 copies by Austin Motors and 919 copies by Armstrong-Whitworth.
Lancaster II (engines Hercules IV, XIV) – 300 copies by Armstrong-Whitworth
Lancaster III (engines Merlin 28, 38, 224; enlarged canopy of bombardier) – 2774 copies by Avro, 136 copies by Metropolitan-Vickers, 110 copies by Armstrong-Whitworth.
Lancaster VI (engines Merlin 85, 87) – 2 copies of modified Lancaster I and 7 copies of modified Lancaster III without front and upper turrets, equipped with improved radar and radio-frequency interference equipment.
Lancaster VII (Lancaster III with upper turret Martin for 2x12.7mm) – 180 copies by Austin Motors
Lancaster X (Canadian Lancaster III with engines Merlin 38, 224 and upper turret for 2x12.7, also differ equipment) – 430 copies by canadian Victory Aircraft Ltd.
Also many special bomber modifications were produced – for heavy 3632 kg, 5448 kg and 9988 kg (Grand Slam - the most heavy WWII bomb) bombs, for bouncing cylindrical bombs of Wallis-type (dambusting raids), with radar H2S, etc. For example, 33 copies of Lancaster I Special were produced for carrying super heavy Grand Slam bomb (enlarge bomb bay without doors), tropical variants Lancaster F.E. Mk.I for Australia and New Zealand (didn't see action during WWII).
Main operations: night massive bombing of Germany, Italy, France since March 1942 as the main British heavy bomber, day massive bombing of Germany since September 1944, damage (raids from Soviet Arkhangelsk, 15.09.1944 and 28.10.1944) and destruction (raid from Scotland, 12.11.1944) of German battleship "Tirpitz" with 5-t "Tall Boy" bombs, bombing of German missile scientific centre at Penemunde in August 1944, bombing Hitler's residence in Bavarian Alps in spring 1945.
The most famous use of the Lancaster was probably the 1943 mission, codenamed Operation "Chastise", to destroy the dams of the Ruhr Valley using special drum shaped bouncing bombs designed by Barnes Wallis, and carried by modified Mk. IIIs (nevertheless, 8 from 19 Lancasters were shot down).
Lancasters were very good heavy bombers despite the fact that their predecessor Avro 679 Manchester had two unreliable engines Rolls-Royce Vulture (1160 hp each). Lancasters with much more better engines Merlin had excellent bomb capacity, good flight performance, powerful armament and high endurance.
Early models of Lancaster suffered from unreliable wing construction (several accidents happened during manoeuvring when wingtips were broken by airflow), later wings were improved. Also upper gunners quite often damaged tail units by MG fire so the special restrictors for turrets were installed.
More than 156000 combat flights were made by Lancasters, they dropped 618350 t of high-explosive and 51.000.000 fire bombs. 57 squadrons of RAF were equipped with Lancasters.
They were used by UK and Australia, USSR repaired and reequipped two damaged Lancasters (one was used as transport plane in 16th squadron of White Sea flotilla AF and another as transport plane in 70th transport regiment of North Navy AF).
Losses of Avro Lancaster:
Probably, 3249 Lancasters were lost in action (almost half of the used Lancasters!). One of the first heavy loss took place on 17 April 1942 near Augsburg when 7 from 12 Lancasters were shot down by German fighters and AA fire (that was day raid without fighters support against submarine shipyard). Only 35 Lancasters completed more than 100 successful operations. The greatest survivor completed 139 operations and survived the war, to be scrapped in 1947. According to RAF statistics for 1943 one Short S.29 Stirling was lost for every 49 t of dropped bombs, one Handley Page Hp.57 Halifax was lost for every 56 t of dropped bombs and one Avro 683 Lancaster was lost for every 132 t of dropped bombs!
There are 16 known Avro Lancasters remaining in the world, two of which remain in airworthy condition.

Thanks for the good link, Milorg.
I am collecting at the moment the info about B-17 "Flying Fortress" losses during WWII. Will post it soon.
Here is one photo - http://www.allaces.ru/ge/pil/wennekers/wennek2.jpg (B-17, which was knocked down in May 1943 by German ace Hans-Gerd Wennekers).
Despite the excellent defense armament (6-13 MGs) US B-17s were knocked down quite easily by German night fighters and AA fire because of relatively low flight altitude and not very optimal air formation during bombing operations. For example on 17 August 1943 USAF lost 60 heavy bombers B-17 from 376 (16%) during the single raid over Regensburg. On 13 July 1943 during the raid over Kiel 22 from 66 B-17 were lost (33%). Quite often 8th AF lost over France/Germany near 100 heavy bombers B-17 every week with the crew 9-10 men each. 14 October 1943 (raid against Schveinfurt) was the "black thursday" in B-17s history - again 60 bombers were lost (305th BG lost 13 B-17s from 16), near 200 were heavily damaged, but could return. 15.08.1944 25 Fw190s attacked 13 B-17s over Mosel and knocked down 9 of them during one minute (23 crewmembers were killed, 58 bailed out), the rest 4 bombers were very heavilly damaged but could return back. The heroism of US pilots from the 8th AF was at very high level - none of the bombers returned back during the air battles.
The most successful B-17 ("Memphis Belle" B-17F no. 41-24485) could make 25 combat flights (to compare - one British Avro Lancaster completed 139 operations, see above).
Nevertheless, Boeing B-17 was the main and best US heavy bomber in Pacific in 1941-1943 and in Europe since the beginning of 1944, also they were used by RAF in Europe and Africa. Soviet B-17s (25 repaired B-17G, damaged during the raids against Germany from Soviet airfields) never used in combat flights during WWII.
Japanese "Zero" pilots said that B-17 could resist a huge amount of hits and it was hard to knock the bomber out. Only 20 direct hits of 20mm shells could destroy B-17 for sure.
B-17 was a very good heavy bomber and very high losses were the result of tactics mainly but not the construction of airplane. But it should be noted that B-17s quite easily fired after AA shell hits, also airplane armor (27 plates) was absolutely useless during the front attacks of German fighters. On the other hand - powerful defense armament protected B-17 quite good (but not against high-speed Me-262s), also bomber could continue to fly on every two engines.

I have to jump in here with a few corrections. Although the B-17s (and B-24s) did face night fighters from time to time, it wasn't an everyday event. For the night fighters to have flown both day and night missions would have put an excessive strain on both men and machines, reducing their efficiency and increasing casualties beyond what could be sustained.BIGpanzer wrote:I am collecting at the moment the info about B-17 "Flying Fortress" losses during WWII.

I'm wondering if either you or your source has confused the RAF Bomber Command with the USAAF here. The B-17s usually flew at altitudes around 20,000 feet or more, which is actually relatively high for WW II bombing....and AA fire because of relatively low flight altitude...
I'm not sure what this means. The "Box" formation was carefully worked out to maximise coverage of every quarter by the planes' MGs.and not very optimal air formation during bombing operations.
The B-17s, like all bombers, were vulnerable to fighters. You'll notice that the heaviest losses were when escorting fighters were not present. The key to success for the bombers was to provide escorts.For example on 17 August 1943 USAF lost 60 heavy bombers B-17 from 376 (16%) during the single raid over Regensburg. On 13 July 1943 during the raid over Kiel 22 from 66 B-17 were lost (33%). Quite often 8th AF lost over France/Germany near 100 heavy bombers B-17 every week with the crew 9-10 men each. 14 October 1943 (raid against Schveinfurt) was the "black thursday" in B-17s history - again 60 bombers were lost (305th BG lost 13 B-17s from 16), near 200 were heavily damaged, but could return. 15.08.1944 25 Fw190s attacked 13 B-17s over Mosel and knocked down 9 of them during one minute (23 crewmembers were killed, 58 bailed out), the rest 4 bombers were very heavilly damaged but could return back. The heroism of US pilots from the 8th AF was at very high level - none of the bombers returned back during the air battles.
This may be misleading. The actual record for total missions by a single B-17 was quite a bit over 25, though I don't have the precise number at hand. But many B-17s lasted more than 25 missions.The most successful B-17 ("Memphis Belle" B-17F no. 41-24485) could make 25 combat flights (to compare - one British Avro Lancaster completed 139 operations, see above).
You need to check that again. I think the B-17 had more or less disappeared from the PTO by early 1943 to be replaced by the B-24, whose longer range made it better adapted to the Pacific.Nevertheless, Boeing B-17 was the main and best US heavy bomber in Pacific in 1941-1943...
But not very much. The RAF didn't like them for bombing and I think quickly relegated them to exclusively flying airdrops to resistance groups. I'm not aware of them operating them in Africa at all, although they might have....also they were used by RAF in Europe and Africa.

Michael, 100 Group also used them for EW, but all told I think there was only a squadron or two of B-17s in RAF service.
Even in 8th and 15th AF, I don't think they were overwhelmingly predominant. Total B-24 production was - IIRC - quite a lot higher than that for B-17s, and by most metrics I believe the B-24 was actually a better bomber. In Mid 1944 8th AF had one Bomb Div exclusively B-17, one exclusively B-24, and one about 50/50 mixed.
Memphis Belle was the first B-17 to reach 25 missions (and was promptly shipped back to the US), but I too am confident that there were many others that subsequently reached and surpassed that total. Especially from late-44 onwards.
Linky to B-17 use in RAF.

Right. Thanks for bringing that to mind.JonS wrote:Michael, 100 Group also used them for EW, but all told I think there was only a squadron or two of B-17s in RAF service.
But a lot of B-24 production went into ASW and the Pacific theater.Even in 8th and 15th AF, I don't think they were overwhelmingly predominant. Total B-24 production was - IIRC - quite a lot higher than that for B-17s...
Heh, heh. That statement can get you into a lot of hot water in some quarters. If you want to get into specifics, by all means do so and we can take it from there....and by most metrics I believe the B-24 was actually a better bomber.
My sense of it is that in the ETO the B-17s outnumbered the B-24s about 2:1, but that's off the top of my head and could be off by several percentage points. In the 15th. AF, I think it was almost all B-24s.In Mid 1944 8th AF had one Bomb Div exclusively B-17, one exclusively B-24, and one about 50/50 mixed.
