Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.
Tony
BC used its medium bombers, Hampdens, Wellingtons and Whitleys against road targets in May and June 1940 to support badly pressed BEF. I’m sure if it had had heavies then, it would have used them also against tactical targets. When nation’s army is in desperate situation other branches had to help, even if they don’t like the idea. In 1944 situation wasn’t even desperate but still BC and 8th AF heavy bombers were used even to give battlefield support, for ex. at the beginning of Goodwood and Cobra. So I cannot see rationale of your claim. Juha
