Blundering to victory..aviation technology vs the Allied establishment in WW2
How did the Allies win WW2 in the air? This is a question which I've often pondered, and for some years I have been firmly convinced that luck played the greatest part.

The above studies only sample some aspects of the air war during the period 1939-1945. Doubtless, many others could be cited, but there is enough here to start the ball rolling!

Why is it that you only highlight all the RAF mistakes when the US were part of the Allies
The reason why the allies won the war was because they made less mistake than the Axis
Take a look at all the Luftwaffe top secret new planes that were started to be built in 1945 & tell me what impact they made the Ta 152 , Me 262 , Me 163
The reason why the Martin Baker Mk5 did not go into mass production was the RAF had Spitfire , Tempest & Sea Fury already on the production that could do just as good a job & the future was with jet engines
