Stats, stats, stats.  Enjoy.

The production numbers seem a bit off.  I've never seen Fw190 numbers that high, the reported Spitfire/Seafire number is actually just the Spitfire number and they completely left out the Vickers Wellington of which more than 11,000 were built.

Just goes to show we need another Yak in the game as well as the He-111 and the KI-43

14,000 [planes] lost in  the continental U.S.

Which battles might they have been lost in? I know of Pearl Harbor and such, but can't remember any "Battle of America" on the continent.

My guess would be losses from training exercises, mechanical failures and flight testing. And there were tons of enemy activity along the U.S. coastal waters along the eastern seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico. It's very possible some aircraft were lost in these engagements.

Weren't there closer to 33,000 109s built?

P51 and P47 numbers are a bit off too I think, pretty sure I read recently that there were about 300-more P47s built, but it's backwards on that site.

From further down on that page  

"According to the  AAF Statistical Digest, in less than four years (December 1941- August 1945),  the US Army Air Forces lost 14,903 pilots, aircrew and assorted personnel plus 13,873 airplanes --- inside the continental United States .  They were the  result of 52,651 aircraft accidents (6,039 involving fatalities) in 45  months.
Think about  those numbers. They average 1,170 aircraft accidents per month---- nearly 40 a  day.  (However, less than one accident in four resulted in total loss of the aircraft.)"
