(2) Estimates and actual numbers are often from different time, they are intended to show how off the estimates were NOT the actual balance of force. (3) Most numbers are rounded. (4) The composition of plane-types in the visualization is not accurate except when it is explicitly a number stated for that type of aircraft.
