Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.
Wisdom comes after the event, as the Japanese used to say.
I don't intend to re-enact the May-June 40 campaign, but the most efficient move would have been to bomb by night the Ardennes roads. The planes would have been secure from Flak and the Germans, favouring speed to security, were driving with their lights on (nice target markers indeed!). Falling trees would have slowed their rush in a considerable manner and given more time to rearrange the defences at Sedan.
The air raids should have been carried out upstream (Ardennes) instead of downstream (Meuse bridges).
