Spitfire in France, May-June 1940

Return to the topic and cease making bigoted remarks such as "typically English behaviour" (which say more about their author than their intended target) if you want this thread to continue.

Anyone who wants to start a thread about post-war jet development, please do so in the appropriate section of the forum.

Write that book, or series of books, and let the rest of the world know. OK?

I am not English, though I speak it. And yes, there were significant developments by the French and by other Europeans working in their own countries or, for example, France. My research shows that going to France was sometimes more sensible because some facilities already existed there. So why spend money trying to duplicate them in your home country? The Swiss contribution to engine development is little known. I could go on.

So, if you want to post here, fine - within the rules of course. Otherwise, share your knowledge, I urge you.
