More of the British pilots parachuted into friendly hands because majority of the air battle in the "Battle for Britain" was over Britain. The Germans started to face a pilot shortage. Arguably the British should have focused on pilot and crew survival (vs. aircraft survival) at least for the fighters. The US rotated pilots back from front to train the next generation while the Germans continued to fly missions leading to more German aces but arguably better trained US pilots (on average).
