I must admit I don't understand what your last posting was about. As for counting "stations" that are supplied with fuel I would remind everyone in this discussion that aircraft can cover considerable distances in short periods of time I don't see the connection between the distance a plane can travel and the stations issued with the fuel. I also don't see the emphasis on testing of the fuel. Testing started in 1938 and was completed in 1939 when it was signed off for use as documented in Kurfursts paper. 1940 is about the use of the fuel in combat, not testing it. If you wish I can show you the consumption figures, i.e. the fuel used and I can show you the issued figure, which is as you would expect is a little different. That might help clear the topic, just let me know. Re your comment on the line I posted The problem here is that you do not know the details behind the paper and your reply And nobody else does either.....including you You are absolutely correct, no one does know the details. No one knows which squadrons, which aircraft, which stations, how it was to be distributed and so on were for the pre war paper. The difference is that I do not pretend to know. However I do know that this idea of 16 + 2 bomber units wsan't mentioned at all in the Oil Committee meetings who would have been instrumental in the distribution of the fuel to the 16 fighter squadrons whatever those squadrons might be, wherever they may be based.
