How did nighttime losses compare to daylight? I've googled a couple
strings looking for both RAF and 8th AF etc. stats, but so far all I've
found are some general statements that, as German nightfighter weapons
and tactics improved, the percentages became roughtly comparable.


The only possible answer is that it varied depending on
when and where. The Berlin raids in late 1943 were
much more dangerous than raids on the Ruhr.

Over the course of the war I recall that loss rates for the
RAF and USAAF were approx the same. By late 44
and into 45 the RAF were making a lot of daylight raids too.
