Re: German & Allied radar

From your own quote, the second change was made after the BoB.

By the English dates sure, but the Germans have a much later date of May 1941 for the end of the Battle of Britain when they transferred their bombers east.

Hence my statement: That system was changed before the battle and was modified again after or during the battle depending on whose dates you use.

It should have but looking from scrambles of late morning of 15.9. it seems that that had not happened. Most sqns didn’t scramble the supposed 12 fighters but 10-11 fighters. Only 11 Group reserve sqns at Tangmere sent oversized sqns and they scrabled exactly same number of fighters than they had had serviceable in the evening of 14th.

I see what happened. The RAF expanded the number of squadrons in the force and in the week of the 15th reduced the size of squadron to 18 A/C. This is why you did not realize the larger size of the earlier organization.

The RAF began to replenish the ASU and reserve holdings as well.

Now it is easy to see that the RAF was at 96% strength with 83% of that operational at 152400 SEP 40. That does not mean we will not find outliers in the individual squadrons.




All the best,

Crumpp
