I don't think historical accuracy and fairness are compatible, in this case.

As I understand, the RAF turned around fighters in under a quarter of an hour, but they used a different set of pilots for the second sortie, while the first group of pilots had breakfast, or lunch, or maybe a quick nap. This is why personal aircraft were rare, even later in the war. A pilot flying multiple sorties in a day was probably normal, but they wouldn't usually have been consecutive.
