| If you look at aircraft dispatched per squadron per mission, each group always managed to put a hefty number of aircraft in the air. I dont think any squadron or group managed to have a 100% sortie rate.
Unlike the RAF, the AAF and USN in 1944 and 1945, there was a flood of aircraft, mechanics and spare parts available and having a large number of aircraft grounded due to a lack of spare parts was simply not happening.
