Sorties
"Missions flown by 5 VA on May 8, 1945:
142 IL-2 flew 188 missions
116 Yaks flew 180 missions
90 La-5,-7 flew 126 missions
47 Po-2 flew 129 missions
11 (511 ORAP) recce. Pe-2 flew 11 missions (one each)
9 (218 BAD) A-20G Bostons flew 9 missions (one each)"
I guess you mean sorties.
One sortie = one flight performed by one aircraft. 9 sorties = one flight each performed by 9 AC.
An unlimited number of AC can take part in a mission (or raid, or air attack), even more than 1,000 bombers and 700 fighters (like 1944 over Germany).
