Your problem is that you are not historian and definitely not polite. I will not insult you, because I am much more smarter than you.:) Have a beautiful day.

I like those primary sources, but you missunderstand my statement. I am war historian and I am doing long term research based on primary and secondary sources. And, yes I would love to have much more sources! Thank you. I have results, but unfortunately not published yet. Propaganda is still...

No it wasnt, you have to research it, not copy paste from RAF primary source. Real kill/loss ratio was passive. During daylight RAF FC destroyed like 1218 enemy aircraft lossing like 1430 FB/Cat 3. Of course, as I said, many hundreds of those were repaired by CRO and depots, but its cost a lot...

Sorry, but your counting is based on virtual numbers. There is no such number as 1887 Luftwaffe planes lost in reality. It was badly counted by Cornwell and he knows it. If you want to start discussion about real numbers, first look into Narrow Margin. The real kill/loss ratio in Hurricane and...

Sorry but this is complete nonsence. RAF FC combat losses during July-October period were close to 1430 fighters FB/Cat 3! Of course, many of them were soon Re-Cat 2, but still with those originaly categorized as FB/Cat 2, losses were tremendous. The real advantage was great repair system of...

I was talking about real combat experience and engagements. On 13th May 1940 Defiants were supported by Spitfires from 66 Squadron and involved in combat with Me 109s. They failed misserably! This is the exact confirmation of believe, that Defiants could survive being protected by single engine...

I DONT THING, that this expectation have anything to do with Defiant and its tactics when used with Spitfires support on 13th May 1940 on the battlefield. On this day, nobody knows, that Belgium and France will collaps soon. Defiants were belived to survive under the protection of 8-gun...

"It was a bomber destroyer and in 1935/36 when the idea was produced, no one thought that Germany would invade France and be able to use single seat fighters to escort bombers into British airspace." This is of course total nonsence. It was predicted that France will be attacked by Germany and...

The main problem here is, that it was used in situations when mixed with enemy single and twin engine fighters and by crews it was claimed that with huge succes :-D Of course, it was disaster all the way with low number of real kills and high number of destroyed and damaged Defiants by enemy fire.

Bungays was idiot and he is not historian. My copy of his book Most Dangerous Enemy is full of "misleading", "not proved", "nonsence", "mistake" and even "lie". Bf 110C and D-0 was good aircraft but can not stand a chance against Hurricanes and Spitfires in combat, unless in height and surprise...

RAF lost at least 4 aircraft. You have to ad Spitfire Mk.Ia P9335 from 7 OTU Hawarden, Flintshire, demaged cat. 2/FA
