Peter, no one deny that RAF fighter command was under very heavy pressure then, and the target changes of Luftwaffe did give RAF a breath space, but did that mean RAF was at verge of defeat at that time? Many people, me include, do not agree that, there was no noticeable changes of the number of serviceable Spitfire and Hurricane between August and September, and RAF had not exhausted their reserve either, did Group 10 and 12 suffered far less than Keith's group 11?
