What's he balancing ?

I was more listening to the people in the clip who took part in BoB and flew.

Not the presenter.

Tacitics are for n00bs in any discussion of campaigns.

The RAF was better organised as an air force, they were better led, and had better logistical support, and as we all know, logistics wins wars, not single engagement tactics.

are you sure about this?
Germany learned a lot about organisation and operating abroad thanks to the Spanish Civil War, Great Britain was fighting on its own soil, and that's a HUGE advantage. I can agree about the fact that the Luftwaffe had a worse leadership, but to saying it was less organised is ridiculous. Once again, let's not forget they were operating from a foreign country, with all the possible logistics strains, and still managed to bring Great Britain to the brink of collapse with their bombing campaign.
They didn't manage to overcome their opponents just because they were led by a buffoon and dispersed their offensive potential, but had all the capability to gain air superiority all the time.

in a way Germany was also fighting on it's own soil, it had after all just conquered France and was using coastal airfields and local resources with an uninterupted supply line from the the Fatherland.
