The 45 squadrons you list were the actual fighting squadrons (puruit, bomber and reconnaisance). The other missing numbers were assigned to
other fighting units in training but could also be flying training, maintenance, mechanics, etc. units.
There was no seperation between actual fighting sqns. and the other units training pilots or servicing aircraft. For instance the 14th Aero was a flying school sqn. and the 32nd Aero was an aircraft repair unit.
An individual search for each sqn. will sometimes yield their duties during the war. But there ARE lot to search for - the possible numbers go up to at least 638 !
