According to reports the number of B24s that were lost during World War 2 was 79. During the three large attacks the B24s were used in about half were lost each time.

ANS 2 - Your figures are totally wrong ! I was based at 2 different RAF stations in Norfolk during the 1960's, that had been B-24 bases during WW2. It was common knowledge among the locals of how many B-24's were lost on missions. Intrigued with this, I looked up the records on-site and found that from the 14 B-24 Bomb Groups operating from England alone. 1,102 B-24's never returned from missions. Shipdham, where I was first based, was home to the 44th Bomb Group They sufferd 153 B-24's lost during 1943-44.

I have no firm figures for the B-24 's operating in the Middle East or Pacific, bit most records place those losses at least around 1,000 . From this I am estimating about 2,100 total B-24 losses - over 20,000 brave young fliers.

Total games played 25 they won 9 more than they lost and 2 are ties how many games did they won?

Designate w as the number of games won. The total of 25 must be the sum of the number of games won, the number lost, and the number tied. From the statement of the problem, the number of games lost must be 9 more than the number of games lost, or w + (w-9) equals number of games played minus number of games tied, or 2w - 9 = 25 - 2; 2w = 23 + 9 = 32; w = 16.
