Inspired by this, & by H. R. Allen's book Who Won the Battle of Brtain?.
Allen proposed the RAF, before the Fall of France & the beginning of the Battle of Britain, or during the Battle, should have intensively attacked German airfields in Normandie & the Pas de Calais. Allen argues the bases were crowded with aircraft, inadequately defended with flak, & highly vulnerable. He also suggests the bases were known locations. He argues radar was inadequate to detect low-flying intruder missions.
So, suppose Fighter & Bomber Command take his approach: not with heavies, but with Battles & Blenheims, which presumably are designed for this kind of mission. Suppose they begin hitting German bases at dawn & dusk, attacking with MG & light bombs. Could it have an impact on the outcome of the Battle of Britain? Could it further impact Barbarossa? Attacks on Malta? The defence of the Reich?
