I see so many videos where aircraft are at very low altitudes.
Flying in large groups at low altitude prior to engaging the enemy would have been flying with a death wish.
One important reason why the RAF was successful against the Luftwaffe was the Chain home and all the spotters giving the RAF pilots enough time to get airborne and altitude. Otherwise, the RAF would have had to have planes in the air flying sectors at altitude every hour. The Luftwaffe would still have penetrated more often and done alot more damage if such were the case.
Getting E was very important and large groups flying at low altitudes prior to engage may look good on the screen, but it definitely would have been disaster during the BOB.
