It would be interesting if your book tried to make some estimates of aircraft lost from different causes.
1. I imagine non-operational losses would be the largest category for every airforce. Training, foolish aerobatics, mechanical failure etc.
2. Everyone knows about the enormous scores of the top Luftwaffe aces (even if they are discounted 50% they still make Allied ones look pale) but reason dictates that far more Luftwaffe aircraft must have been shot down than Allied ones.
3, Friendly fire must be a significant factor.
A difficult statistical challenge requiring much guesswork and assumptions - we will be interested to see the results though!
