The actions of 13th Group are a complete sideshow and are not figured into my earlier SWAG and the conclusions of the RAF are their own.

The US Air Force Journal Of Logistics article makes use of the same documentation the RAF referenced in their official history. Part of that documentation is presented in this thread.

I fail to see the fascination with 13th Group operations except as some sort of straw man detracting from the overall conclusion.

That conclusion being the RAF started with numerical parity in single engine fighters and quickly moved to numerical superiority during the battle due to more efficient repair systems and higher production rates.

Most air forces agree that only fighter aircraft can win air superiority.

All the best,

Crumpp
