Are there any records on that? I'd like to investigate the actual numbers of ME's that flew, were shot down and were captured.

My info comes from the aviation museum and may not be complete.

I got this from various documentaires on the History channel and from a few WW2 books. Adolf Galland was shot down while trying to land by a mustang and wounded in early 1945. He was out for the rest of the war. Another German ace was shot down trying to take off and was killed. Another suffered serious burns that scarred his face severely. I can't remember his name. I know the Time-Life WW2 books had some stuff on this.
