There is quite a bit of raw speculation that attempts to bedazzle folks into thinking a specific way.

For example, you speculate all over the map about FC, BC, Invasion of France, and everything else under the sun like it is a fact in the post below:

It is not, it is YOUR interpretation.

Morgan and Shacklady say something completely different which also fits the information in the document you posted on weekly issues.

That is the RAF built up a strategic reserve and it was not until September 1940 that 16 squadrons from Fighter Command converted to 100 octane.

Not only do I think Morgan and Shacklady's research was more through and grounded than yours, it is a fact that every military required such a reserve.

Heck, BMW built over two thousand BMW801S series motors before the first one was put on a production aircraft. Why??? They used a three to one strategic reserve for engines. Three engines were in the inventory for every one being used operationally. That way losses could be replaced and the operational aircraft maintained.

With the simple logic in this thread some revisionist would be screaming the Germans were sending thousands of BMW801S engines into battle starting in 1943!!
