Hello August,

Well, as I know, no plane was lost from ground fire. But mechanical problems took a heavy toll on both sides. The greek pilots often had to make emergency landings for engine troubles : the greek high command was not very concerned with supply of spares. The turks also knew these kind of problems, they lost one crew from an engine fire on 18th august 1921.

Regards,
DTB
