Hello
I gave a short look to Wood's/Gunston's Hitler's LW, very little on the May-June 40 Campaign, the old 1733 vs 915 loss figure for the BoB, the book have two parts, the history part and the tehnical descriptions of LW planes, the latter is rather deprssing, lot of the old 60s misinfo , Romanians using Hs 129As in combat (most probably they got no 129As, more less to use them in combat, they used 129Bs), on 109 all that G was awful and Ks had 15mm MG 151s cowling guns!!!. And of course no info where they got their loss figures, still might they might be OK.
On a/c present, according to the ToE in Khazanov's Air War Over Kursk (2010) VIII Air Corps had at the beginning of the Oper. 928 a/c, it was the LW formation in controlled the air assests of the southern attack (4PzA and Army Det Kempf)
