What a load of BS.
Total losses of aircraft in the Battle of Britain
Assuming these are correct, haven't checked from my books
Month----------------RAF------Luftwaffe
July (from10th)------90--------165
August--------------399-------612
September-----------416------ 554
October-------------182------- 321
Total----------------1087----- 1652
The RAF did loose more fighters than the Luftwaffe, but not more planes.
So much for consistently winning the aerial engagements.
Or do bombers not count.......
