I bet they were actually flown from the factory to the front line in many cases. My point is that what comes out of the factory is not necessarily what is fighting, regardless of which air force we're discussing. You think no Spitfires or Bf 109s were damaged between factory and operational airbase?

Editing of certain 'numbers' by the government in the USSR was not uncommon (post-war mostly). The whole FM thing is so complicated the guy over at developers studio must have nightmares from it.
Whatever. I'm looking for as many different sets of numbers as possible. The truth will come out. You can enjoy your conspiracy theory about how the Soviets edited their documents post hoc.
