Nightime reading...Thanks for the link once again. Mahross.

 

Nice paper...Good that Brooke Popham gets a mention...Dowding and others mostly others got the glory if there was any..Not so much Dowding then...but history has overlooked Popham and all he did to make sure the RAF was ready for what was coming.

 

Urqh,

Glad you enjoyed it. I agree concerning Brooke-Popham. He is very important to the history of the RAF but little has been written about him. Something that needs to be rectified.
