Notes
Alphabetical listing by model rather than manufacturer - the method used by previous editor - is retained. Aircraft which are known only by number (e.g. de Havilland DH4) - are listed by number, but not prefix, (i.e. under 4, not DH). The total number of aircraft of the type owned or operated by the NZPAF, RNZAF or RNZN are listed to the left. No numbers are given for RAF (NZ) squadrons, due to lack of information. No information is given about several aircraft captured by New Zealand forces, but not given a serial number, due to lack of information, (thus it is known a Mitsubishi Jake seaplane was captured and flown, but it is not listed). Unusual circumstances are noted in brackets (e.g. 4 Mosquitoes crashed on delivery flights, aircraft lost on delivery flight, 28 F-16s returned to vendor).Where aircraft have different names but are virtually identical they are retained under their names but the other name is mentioned in brackets, (the classic e.g. is the Vildebeest and Vincent, as some New Zealand Vildebeest recieved the additional features of RAF Vincents prior to delivery, making the two types completely indistinguishable).
