The Plane That Saved Britain?

Well many historians still not agree on this. When you read the studies it is alway that RAF historians state that the RAF survived with the help of their own and allies (Stephen Dunday Dowding, Peter Dye, Richard Overy etc.) while others state that by August 1940 the RAF actually had lost the Battle (Derek Wood, Derek Dempster, Denis Richards, etc.)
Fact is that on September 14th Hitler refused the Luftwaffe to fight against the RAF as primary target and September 16th Göring ordered the new phase of city bombing which gave the RAF much space to breath again and recouperate.

 

And then there´s of course the discussion of who commanded the planes to work efficiently. Just want to name Air Chief Marshal Sir Keith Rodney Park...again..

This has been discussed elsewhere before but just not to forget.

 

De Havilland Mosquito along with Bristol Bleinheim were very very effective night fighters. Especially with airborne radar sets and electronics warfare sets installed they became serious problems for German bomber formations flying at night over British Isles. More than that Mosquito2s wooden frame made him extremely hard to catch him on radar. Both aircraft were very versite for a lot of roles , (air interdiction , night fighting , recon , low level bombing , tactical fighter bomber etc ) but they are the main reasons night raids on British cities became extremely costly for Luftwaffe after 1940.
