Thanks Sternjaeger, for clarifying your opinion. That first post of yours wasn't much help

This certainly makes me reevaluate my ideas about the BoB. However, while you are discussing planes, I am thinking about pilots. It's perfectly possibly that Germany had enough production power to keep a relatively stable number of bombers, but what about bomber crews? They take much longer to train, and efficiency increases with experience. Was the loss of pilots and aircrew a problem?

I understand that the RAF was having serious problems - while the number of pilots might have increased (I think I read this in Bungay's book), they had virtually no training. Given that, they were usually shot down just as fast as they came into operational squadrons. And because the battle was fought over Britain, the RAF had a great advantage in keeping pilots in the battle.

Might that have been an argument in favour of Bungay's idea?
