At that time the RAF had far more Hurricanes than Spitfires. Even by 10 July 1940 there were 29 Hurricane squadrons to 19 Spitfire squadrons. As...
I have read quite a bit about the Dambusters attack on the German dams (surely the most extraordinary, and certainly the most famous, bombing...
Exactly.
Two points : First I said Mosquito or similar. I wouldn`t think the wooden construction of the Mossie was it's most significant asset (unless you...
What would have been the pros and cons of an all Mosquito (and/or other fast medium bomber) force during WWII ? I have often thought about this....
I used this link and it led me to the British Library's "EThOS" system, which is free to join. I then downloaded David Newbold`s "British Planning...
I think it can be safely assumed that the British Govt thought them unnecessary (or at least not essential for) the defence of the UK from...
This info is not just about numbers of tanks but was on the Wikipedia talk page for "British anti-invasion preparations", but under an...
The numbers of tanks in Britain awaiting the threatened German invasion seems to be a subject of much debate, with conflicting numbers quoted in...
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Also note this is not a thread about the Battle Of Britain in its entirety (I`m sure there will be thread...

Thanks lwd. I have tried that, and joined AllMusic. But I can`t work out how to download it. I`m assuming it isn`t free but I can`t seem to find a...
Thanks for that lwd. I have searched about the internet but the sites are either in America* (like - I think - the links you posted) and/or the...
Thanks for that, but I think I was unclear ! It`s the whole soundtrack I`m after, all the music.
Does anyone know where I can get the Battle Of Britain theme music on CD ? I`ve always liked it but I can`t find it anywhere, not without buying...
Apologies if this has been raised before. Would the Nazi party ever have gained power if Hitler had never existed ? In fact would WWII ever have...
I think it was the Royal Navy`s destroyers which were the most important ships in its arsenal, vis Operation Sea Lion. And in Destroyers they...
I personally don`t think there was ever a cat in hell`s chance of Germany managing to invade the UK, the Sandhurst Wargame is interesting, and...
So if we assume Hitler wasn`t killed by the Atom bomb, what do we think he, or his henchmen, would have done (surrender-wise) ? If there was no...
