italian air force loss ww2

hallo all
reading a book i came across to some shocking statistic about the italian air force loss in ww2 for who dasn t know their are as following
personnel killed in action 12808
personnel wounded or crippled 10000
aircrafts destroied 6483 on total of 7844
this was apparently the situation at the end of the war a real disaster in my opinion but that shows how much determination and sacrifice the new post-war aeronautica had to commit to recover to reach today standards
ciao ciao
