as I understand it the Germans changed to night bombing in 40/41 due to losses, now how many were due to AA fire I’ve no idea but when they changed to night bombing there was a lot of guns around London together with search lights but defensive gunnery was in it’s infancy it was all a learning curve,they had nothing to base a plan on and I don’t think until the V1 offensive that we had a AA system that worked,
Re the original question, Bob Churchill, a ballistics, amongst other things, expert, had to investigate the death of a woman during the Battle of Britain, she’d been killed by a single rifle calibre bullet. He concluded from the angle of entry and other factors that she had been killed by a bullet fired during a dog fight.
that’s what interested me and it seems then people were hurt by ammunition falling from the sky not including the shrapnel from AA shells, must have been quite dangerous to be out and about
well here we are a few tentative steps on the Tamiya 190 A3,apart from the seat and replacement wheels I’m going to build as per the kit, I thought this would be an easier way to get back into it
