Which leaves us with the logistical questions which you have so far avoided. You have requently said that logistics are critical, something I agree, so I would expect you to have put some effort into looking at the logistical questions your theory raises. To do otherwise as you have said, is to be amaturish and lower the tone of the thread. Putting the Logistical Hat on again its interesting to look at the Basic Logistical details we know for the two cases For the roll out to FC we know a) Who made the decision b) That testing was complete in 1939 c) Which stations were to have it issued to IN THE FIRST INSTANCE d) How it was to be rolled out e) That the Oil Committee considered the roll out to be complete in May Note - all the above is supported by official original records held in the NA For the 16 FC squadrons + 2 Bomber squadrons a) We don't know who made the decision to continue with this program once war started b) We don't know that phase IV testing was on going in 1940 c) We don't know which squadrons or which stations were supposed to have the 100 Octane d) We don't know how it was to be rolled out e) If this theory is correct, We don't know when the rest of FC had 100 Octane issued f) We do know that the limit of 2 squadrons of Bombers mentioned in this paper was disregarded, which must question why the fighter limit is supposed to be maintained None of these is supported by original papers. The best that can be said is that they depend on wild interpretations of some documents while ignoring others As I said at the start the case for 100% roll out isn't perfect, but its a lot stronger than the case for 16 Fighter squadrons and 2 bomber squadrons PS I don't expect a reply to these questions but it highlights that you cannot support your theory and whilst you may disagree with what I put forward, I do at least try to support my belief with documents not theories. ----------------------------------------------------- Last edited by Glider; 05-07-2012 at 02:44 PM. |
