Hi all,
A couple of years ago, I put into a spreadsheet the data I collected from a book I bought. Innacurate this numbers may be, I admit, but they must not be very far from the truth.
I believe that a proportional distribution of makes and models could bring an important change in behaviour to AvA pilots.
I don't believe that these numbers were not enough for a whole TOD, even in the lemmingiest AvA attitude...

But there's more...
Let's apply year of entry into service along WW2 timeline and divide it in 3 delivery batches and we would have someting like this:
