My copy of Amber Books' The Essential Aircraft Identification Guide: Aircraft of WWI gives numbers in August 1918 as being:

  • France: 34% fighter, 51% observer, 15% bomber
  • Britain: 55%, 23%, 22%
  • Italy: 46%, 45%, 9%
  • USA: 46.5%, 46.5%, 7%
  • Germany: 42%, 50%, 8%
  • Austria-Hungary: 63%, 28%, 9%

hope that helps!
