Yes … good points.

Not the RAF at large, but instead Fighter Command.

For clarity’s sake, the myth (as stated in the documentary) is that England was saved by the German switch in tactics from attacking the RAF to bombing London. I’ve heard similar statements … the RAF (read Fighter Command) was down to it’s last “X” men etc. But the documentary argues that (I shall avoid saying “the RAF’s” and say) England’s defences were by no means exhausted (I think of the approach of Sir Keith Park, in essence a story of marshalling/managing resources) and that had the German tactics not changed, the outcome would have been the same.

For example, the documentary talks of the rotational policy (and actions) in place to rest and recuperate squadrons, bring that together with Park’s approach, and CD’s observation in final para above, and the argument is further supported.
