Bomber Command losses - 1940

[tools4fools]

This site totals 687 losses of Blenheims (causes not specified), as to 515 total losses on OP's link:
http://www.bomber-command.info/cblenloss.htm

Out of a total build of 4422 or 5516, depending on sources found on net.

Now I assume that these losses in OP's link do not include losses suffered in France as the Fairey Battle has 237 sorties in total with only 3 losses (what a safe plane to fly...only slightly above than 1% losses...so much better than the Blenheim...)

Seems to be confirmed as the Blenheim squadrons of the Desert Air Force are not included in that link above totaling to 687 losses.
Then there will be losses in far east and with Costal Command (and few night fighters as well).

Don't know what the total losses of all causes of the Blenheim were, but assuming that this number was above 1000 aircraft is somewhere around 25% of all aircraft (or higher) of all produced.
One in 4.
Nope I don't want to be in one, does not sound a safe thing to me.

What does it tell us overall?
Statistic are numbers squeezed, streched and manipulated for a particular purpose.

Was the Desert AF part of Bomber Command?

I wouldn't want to fly a Bf109/Fw190 with less than 2000 left at the end of the war out of over 50,000 built.

My impression was they were part of Middle East Command.
