   I'm pretty sure it includes the two Groups facing the Luftwaffe as   
   they are the figures listed for BoB RAF pilot numbers, 11 Group (7   
   Spitfire, 14 Hurricane and 2 Defiant Squadrons) in the SE and 10 Group   
   (5 Hurricane and 3 Spitfire Squadrons, plus a Gladiator Squadron)  in   
   the SW, which was also engaged, though not as heavily.   
      
   The German figures are for BoB Fighter squadrons afaict.
