No, I have not heard about it. Any source?
It does not change the fact it was virtually impossible to quickly put it into series, if only because of metric system. Otherwise, Beaverbrook as a politician and journalist had several very bright ideas which were pure nonsense. Otherwise British aircraft production output had little to his work.

In any case, why did the Russians, and particular Stalin, have such faith in the aircraft? And weren't most of them destroyed by LW fighters rather than Flak?

You should read my article. Also, would you be so kind to read loss data I have provided in one of your threads?
