Most planes have their range rather drastically reduced to make up for operational fuel usage (circling to wait for a squadron to form up, flying around bad weather, flak concentrations, etc.) i am not sure they just used a flat percentage or what, though
Knocking off 900 miles seems a bit drastic actually. IMHO your statement would approxiamate truth only if the word "ALLIED" were inserted after "Most".
Yes, well i suspect the same as well, but didn't want to start another Japan vs. Allied bias flame thread...
