I am afraid nobody calculated kill vs loss ratios, just only claim vs loss ratio. I regard both of them to be quite different things. The latter numbers were linked in this thread.

Feel free to correct mentioned figures. I took those that I had at hand but I am not sure if I have any first hand data for Mustang.

Range data for escort purposes should allways be based on the cruising speed used by the escorted bombers.

Why? Some homework concerning bomber escort tactics I am afraid.
The key of successfull escort was not to keep with the bombers but to sweep in advance and to attack the enemy on the way. Planning of mission was quite a complicated thing.
