Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.
Tony
If I recall, 30,000 German sailors were some 3/4 of the force. How about RAF losses? Concerning Il-2 article, I would have to finish it, add some new and astonishing details, and then translate to English, but who would be interested in publishing it? Concerning deliveries, no RAF did not get anything they wanted (and there were serious conflicts as what they wanted), and not in quantities. Several aircraft were simply failures, say eg. Battle, Defiant, Warwick, other not available in quantities. Nonetheless RAF should not be blamed for incompetence of Army and Navy in their orders. Concerning escorts, Polish Mustang Wing was operational in April 1944 and flew escorts deep into Germany. During Normandy and following diver campaign they were in the other duties but reverted to escort in the Autumn 1944.
