I have not chequed up if this information is the book "Bloody April.... Black September.
But if not here are the official German Army Air Service victories for this month:
The German claimed 773 e/a on West front and 15 on other fronts and 95 Ballons(all on West front).
637 e/a was shot down in Air combat on West front and 15 on other fronts. Of the victories in air combat on West front fell 356 within German Lines and 281 over enemy lines.
The Flak units claimed 125 e/a of these fell 94 e/a over German lines and 31 over enemy lines. But Grunow stated that 94 e/a fell over German lines and 32 over enemy lines(perhaps one reconfirmation)
11 more e/a were forced landing within German lines, all on West front.
Of the total fell 464 e/a within German lines, 461 of these on West front and 3 on other fronts.
So the total was 652 + 125 + 11 = Total = 788.
The German Naval Air Force claimed a further of 52
e/a this month, which included 13 by Naval Flak.
So the real total was 840 e/a + ballons.
As said before perhaps some reconfirmations should be added.
