This is an interesting topic.

You could model it off a particular battle. I can't recall the pilots name, but I recall the pilots story where he flew an FW-190F8, I think it might even be "White 1" that is being restored but I'm not 100% sure on that. He mentioned that he flew about 5 to 10 sorties a day during a very heated battle on the Russian front because his airfield was so close to the action.

So using a 10 sortie day. You fly off, bomb your targets, land and re-arm (refuel) if needed, and go round again, your looking at 50min / sortie, so you could say 10 min for all the groundwork operations between each sortie.

Just a thought.
