If I'm not mistaken, taking the lowest estimates, that's at least 81 aircraft total.
We are in the 7th day of the 14th week, as of when I'm writing this, so that's 81/(14*7) = 81/98 = 0.83 aircraft shot down par day, or to round to the nearest integer, at least 1 every 2 days. And that's a naïve estimate that assume the same rate throughout the entire war, which is actually not the case as it started low but has been seriously ramping up as of recently, so the current rates of downed American aircraft per day would actually be higher.
