HW5 has sporadic individual reports of lost aircraft or pilots from various units, including damage from air raids and pilots who came down but returned unhurt. Sometimes a ground unit will report a crashed German or Allied aircraft in its area. Also there are comunications to and from depots about aircraft in for maintenance or repair. Sometimes there's a Werk Nummer or code, sometimes both. It all helps but don't expect big daily schedules of losses on all fronts or anything like that - at least I've found nothing like that so far.
