It says 3.8% of Apache-D pilots (is that both crew members counting as "pilots") are female.

If male Apache-D crew are injured in accidents in the ratio 52:0 against women, then that's pushing up to being significant, but not really worth very much yet, as you'd only expect about 2 female accidents for every 52 male based on the demographics.

As to whether women get shot down more - 31 of those 52 accidents were "in theater", so the answer is… again, not enough information.
