Re: Any dispute about interpreting the BofB?
Some numbers from Robertson's book "Spitfire - The Story of a Famous Fighter".
RAF had 400 Spitfires "in service" in September 1939, from page 22. Maybe this means "delivered"? Also from this book, the first order of aircraft were all delivered by August 1939. That would be K9787 to L1096, 310 aircraft. The next batch of 200, N3023 and on, started delivery on 9 August 1939. So, roughly 300 to 400 delivered by 1 September 1939.
