The eight tables of statistics and four appendices provide invaluable insights into numbers of troops, orders of battle, pieces of ordnance, and losses.
Appendices and indexes include Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps orders of battle (wings, groups, and other units, including squadron makeup; and--where applicable--activation, inactivation, redesignation, reassignment, and deployment dates), as well as a statistical summary of air losses by service, year, and aircraft type, with separate listings by date for losses to surface-to-air missiles and MiGs.
