We've all grown up a bit since histories like 'The Narrow Margin' were published. The 'mythology' of the BoB has probably gone too far; I think even Bungay acknowledges that; there was no 'narrow margin', it wasn't even close...that's all I'm pointing out..

I agree with what you say here. I have been fortunate enough to have delved into the other side quite a bit, and what I have written in previous posts merely reflects this. The point I make about 'their cherished Luftwaffe' is akin to my defending jibes made against Everton by Liverpool supporters, if that analogy may be applied.
I'll tell you what, the original poster should be delighted with the discussion that has taken place in this thread. If they can't feed off this, they can't feed off anything...
