Readiness is a dated snapshot, not final aircraft loss accounting. Runway availability, aircraft serviceability and fuel access are distinct. Pilot performance estimates and enemy-loss extrapolations are not adopted as measured specifications or confirmed results. Clock entries retained as the report’s own.
