You know what's not been mentioned so far? And it's a positive.

Neither side shot at parachuting airmen. There was some sort of mutual respect.

Any examples?

Perhaps 'Total War' was not part of the language then?

More fuel for the fire Avro?

I think that this thread has been through the 'fiery stage' and is back on track.

I've cetainly seen a few interesting posts on the topic.

lets see,

Would the Battle of Britain been over in 1 week, if the RAF had had 50's

[MB_Avro_UK]

What's a 50 ??

Or, would the Second World War have ended had the German nation actually attempted to invade Britain in September 1940?

My money's on 'Yes'.

Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arm, Bomber Command, Coastal Command, all thrown into the mix. And that's if they didn't make it to the shores. If they did make it, Then you would have the army too, and every civilian armed with a bread knife or better.

Speculations are cordially invited.
