At times, bombers flew as many as 800 sorties a day, and fighters, fighter-bombers, and low-altitude attack aircraft flew 2,500 sorties, and the Air Force's combat skills in close support to ground forces were greatly developed. On the contrary, the German Closed Bird dive bombers made a maximum of 60 sorties a day, and fighter sedans made a maximum of 100 sorties.
