I wish particularly to thank Frank Leyland of Crumpsall, Manchester, and Bob Collis of Oulton Broad, Suffolk, who have greatly assisted me with material for inclusion in this book. My thanks also to the many other people who have helped me, but who are too numerous to be listed individually.
Authoritative statistics relating to the air-launched flying bombs over the period 15 September 1944 14 January 1945 are to be found in the semi-official account The Defence of the United Kingdom by Basil Collier.
Equally authoritative statistics are to be found in the report of Air Marshal Sir Roderic Hill to the Secretary of State for Air, published as a supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, 19 October 1948 under the heading Air Operations by the Air Defence of Great Britain and Fighter Command in connection with the German Flying Bomb and Rocket Offensives 1944 1945.
There are some variations between these, and between them and this study, as follows:
Launches reported by the German authorities for the period September to 13 December are given as:
| September | 177 | bombs on 13 nights (includes those of 4/5 Sept.) |
| October | 282 | bombs on 21 nights |
| November | 316 | bombs on 13 nights |
| 1 13 December |  | bombs on 6 nights. |

Heinkel III flying-bomb carrier variants
The Heinkel III mark intended for flying bomb carrier duties was the H-22 and this was to have two Jumo 213 E-1 engines of 1,750 hp each. The engine was, however, late in its development and unavailable. Some H-21 Heinkel IIIs on the production line, also designed for use with the Jumo 213, were temporarily fitted with Jumo 211 F-2 engines of 1,350 hp each. A few of these were converted to H-22 configuration.
The great majority of the flying-bomb carrier Heinkel IIIs employed were, however, simply adapted H-16 or H-20 types and these were treated in Luftwaffe records under these old designations.
