The official 6 Armee returns for 31 Mar 17 to 20 Apr 17 concede only 5 kia, 3 mia, 6 wia and 5 aircraft dest. Then for 21 Apr - 3 May 17 the figures jump to 19 kia, 13 mia, 7 wia and 21 aircraft destroyed. But remember 2 Armee air assets were also involved in the fighting over the Arras - Cambrai sector.
But again be cautious with official German returns - I have 57 German loss incidents logged facing British for April - planes down Brit side, pilots / crew killed, airmen wounded and known forced landings. And for Sep 17 I have 98 such events facing British (this excludes losses that can be confidently attributed to French on Flanders sector)!
Cheers Russ
