Placing the Fairey Battle.

Tony
now Hitler was a reliable fellow? Read all things he promised in 30s.

Now if Hampden and Wellington could be used in knockout blow what prevent use of Do 17 and He 111 in a like attack? British knew that Germany had a lot of twin-engined bombers.

Happened You notice that British had the BEF, almost totally motorized force, so it had a army after all.

Have You notice that most of your premises had proven to be wrong? Was that Rod who wrote that at that situation is time to check your hypothesis. Not meaning your opinion on Battle, I also think it was a product of bad specification, but most of your claims are shown to be wrong, from vulnerabilyty of Typhoon to German fighters to invulnerability of Il-2s and to the claim that all British tanks in 40 were flimsy cruisers. British army had in France only light and infantry tanks, 1st Armoured Div was still training in GB. Not to say a word on your naval claims.
