I couldn't find any stats for this immediate period, but here is some info from earlier in the year showing air strength on Malta:

8 – Number of serviceable Spitfires on Malta on 1 April, 1942

19 – Number of serviceable Hurricanes on Malta on 1 April, 1942

1 – Number of serviceable fighters on Malta on five separate days in April, 1942

0 – Number of serviceable fighters on Malta on 14 April, 1942

47 – Number of newly arrived Spitfires on Malta on April 20, 1942

7 – Number of Spitfires available on Malta on April 30, 1942

174 – Number of RAF fighter pilots killed in action over Malta between June1941 and November 1942.
