Britain

Battle of Britain pilots 'could not shoot straight'

2007-10-30

Historical analysis piece in the Telegraph. True enough as far as it goes; the RAF couldn't stop the Luftwaffe, only Goering could -- and he did, by switching the Luftwaffe's goals from destroying the RAF to bombing the cities. There was never going to be a German invasion of Britain as they didn't have the landing ships do to it.

But let's not take anything away from the brave lads who climbed into Spitfires and Hurricanes to stop the Germans -- they really were The Few.
