  1. The Wilde Sau missions were ready anky successful in the summer months, but come the autumn losses mounted, many of the losses were due to landing accidents but an equal number were due to pilots becoming lost and bailing out (they didn't have the electric navigation equipment that standard night fighters were fitted with, nor did they have someone trained in the art of celestial navigation). Those that did find an airbase to land at didn't always land back at their home baes which meant the day fighter unit had to spend time retrieving their aircraft. The unit was disbanded after less than a year.
