German advantage?

…Over to you What advantages do you think (or know) the RAF had? Think about… 1)Location 2)Equipment/technology 3)Tactics/training

British advantages - Location 1)German planes not suitable for long- distance raids (Fighters could only stay over England for 10 mins.) 2)…Whereas RAF planes could land, refuel and take off rapidly. 3)If shot down/parachuted out, German pilots were over enemy territory…

British advantages – Technology/equipment Britain had RADAR: limited/but necessary planes could be sent to specific locations The Spitfire and Messcherschmitt were evenly matched in dogfights but the German bombers were easy to shoot down alone.

British advantages – Tactics/training German pilots trained to give support to ground troops, not fight plane vs. plane. German air force negated earlier tactics of bombing airfields in favour of bombing cities.

Main reason for British victory?

The Blitz

A turning point in the war
