Well I'm up for a good fight with you any day. The agressor does have the right to choose when to stop but you can twist his hand to make him feel the shove. With less pressure on Dowding to go, he could have done more things to help the RAF.
So what do you think 'he could have done more things to help the RAF'?
Dowding was a 'strategist' after all Fighter Command's System was his. He was not a tactician - he had Park (and in theory Leigh-Mallory) for that.
Earlier, he should have arranged more & better gunnery training - Fighter guns were harmonised at 400 yds., experienced pilots learnt to reduce it to 250yds.
During the Battle, why didn't Dowding visit the Fighter airfields (like Park did) to listen to how different Squadrons and their 'leaders' were coping with the enemy. And therefore be able to spread 'best practise' to other Squadrons - rather than learn by natural selection!
According to S. Bungay:
Dowding later wrote that he came to doubt whether the organisation of a squadron into four sections of three was best for dogfighting, and thought it should be replace by three sections of four, allowing the four to split into two pairs. However, he states, it was 'undesirable to make any sweeping changes during a battle'' and observes that it would in any case 'upset standard arrangements for accommadation'.... !!!!!????
But if he did one thing that saved the RAF in 1940, it was IMO the memo to the Cabinet - no more Fighter Squadrons to France.
