Whereas fighter command lost 507 out of 2945 during the battle of Britain. http://www.oocities.org/mchirnside/fcac.htm Let's multiply this by 6 to cover the entire war.

This is a bit low, as the Battle of Britain was a relatively easy fight for the RAF. The full losses were 3,690 killed, 1,215 wounded and 601 POW.

Still confirms the main point, though.
