These are the repartition of escort planes :
- "F" lists the number of planes committed to the "forward" part of the raid (to the target)
- "R" is the number of planes for the "return" part of the raid
(f0/r0) means that no escort was provided
It can be a different number for f and r, especially on longer raids, when escort flights cannot go all the way and it's only a partial escort.
Hope this helps.
