Yes if. What you are discussing is what might have been needed, if France had not surrendered, but they did. My original point was that anyone in 1940 would need magical foresight to predict that France would be over run in weeks. How many strategic raids on French industry were made during the Battle of France?Apparently the Luftwaffe was of opinion that their job was not just to destroy the RAF in the air, they were also trying to bomb factories and air bases.
If France is still fighting, LW needs the drop tanks on 109s even more.
LW rolled over the opposition's airfields, thus destroying the opposition forces?
Damn, those aircraft with iron crosses and swastikas were very lethal.
