RAF claims and total losses

[Steve49]

However don't be distracted by the just the numbers; of the 106 RAF/USAAC aircraft lost during the Dieppe raid, 51 were lost to causes other than by being shot down by aircraft. As far as can be determined these losses were as follows, 36 shot down by flak, 3 by bomber return fire, 4 by Allied friendly fire and 8 due to accidents. So for the Lufwaffe 113 claims (69 JG2, 38 JG26, 5 KG40 and 1 1.(F)123) it seems probable that only 55 aircraft were actually lost due to their actions.

On 22 June 1941 German claims against the Russian Air Force numbered 322 aerial kills against Soviet admissions of 336 lost in air combat.

322 is total kill, including fighters, bombers gunners and A/A. Total for jager (Me 109) was of course smalle one - 265, anyway it was of course overclaiming, real Soviet losses due to air fighting, + A/A etc. (not of couse destroyed on the ground) was about 180-210 Soviet planes.
