The author forgot to mention that the various heavy guns/rockets installed as upgrades, or original fittings often noticeably degraded the aerodynamic performance of the fighters, especially the smaller Me-109s and FW-190s, making them more vulnerable to Allied escort fighters.

I have been going through Masters of the Air on audiobooks. What our bomber aircrews endured is incredible
