Interesting question.Mario Raguz wrote:Is there any page of Italian air force losses in WW II
The official air force history list precise numbers for the period 10 June 1940 to 31 December 1941 (later years probably similar):
B.T. / B.M. / B. a T. / B.G.R. / A.S. : 1,700 (extant at the start) + 1,138 (production) - 1,122 (losses) = 1,716 (extant at the end)
C.T. / C.M. / Ass. / Comb. : 1,269 + 2,168 - 1,235 = 2,202
O.A. / A.P.C. : 604 + 422 - 319 = 707
R.M. : 337 + 337 - 152 = 522
Total : 3,910 + 4,065 - 2,828 = 5,147
(transport, liason and training planes are missing from this table)
It must be noted that not all the losses were due to enemy action: a number of old planes were just retired from service.

here is another oob, it may be slightly different from the comando supremo site.
