    Hi,
    I'm currently in the middle of a researching for a project based on British Aircraft in service during World War Two.

    My final essay title will be 'What was the most significant development of British Aircraft throughout World War Two?'

    My research so far has been split into four main groups: weaponry, engines, structure and pilots/tactics. I've already done a lot of research into the Merlin engine as well as the layout and structure of the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster.

    I'm hoping everyone on here can give me their opinions on the subject and why they deem one area to be more important than another.

    Any ideas for research sources would also be much appreciated.
    Thanks :)

    I'd have thought Sir Frank Whittle's jet engine was one of the most significant developments during WWII....
