  Towards the end of 1942, 75 (NZ) Squadron converted from Wellingtons to Stirlings and subsequently contributed to the Battle of the Ruhr, the devastation of Hamburg, and the famous raid against the German V-weapons experimental station at Peenemunde. In March 1944, No. 75 began to exchange its Stirlings for Lancasters. This listing limited at this time to the known Striling losses from 75 (NZ) Squadron.
