RAF or any other AF did not switch mode because of war..sure they had to improvise in the field but it was based on something. And belive me even in war superiors ask for paperwork because it is essential for the big picture if you get the drift.

You mean like when Don Blakeslee of the 335th in 1943 insisted on swapping his P47's for P51's, but none of the pilots had been converted, but he got them anyway on the agreement that they were in a combat operation within 24hours of receipt. Blakeslee told his men that their conversion would be the actual mission.
Sorry, but needs dictate what happens, do that or help yourselves lose the war.
