There were at least 368 claims made by the British in April 1917:

7 broke up in the air
9 captured
48 crashed
29 "destroyed"
4 driven down
3 forced to land
28 aeroplanes in flames
15 balloons in flames
2 balloons "smoking"
1 balloon destroyed on the ground
222 out of control

Of these, about 158 were reported in the RFC Communiques.
