Have a few questions

[delcyros]

You could try to show how innovations interchanged and forced new innovations in respond.
Example:
The introduction of proper tactics and deployment made interceptions easier
Bombers either switched to (A) nighttime or used different routes or even had escorts (B)
(A) - Ground Radar - operators enabled the defenders to intercept during night
(B) - A part of the interceptors had special dogfighter tasks while the other entirely kept on the escorts
-someone discovered how to jam radars
- someone invented a more sophisticated airborne radar with basic anti-jam
- political bombing (against citys) developed strategical bombing (against plants and oil industries)
Dispersal programs, long range fighter sweeps and escorts, early jets, rocketry, finally the nuke....
This complex interchange accelerated the technical development by almost two decades. A shame that the ethics didn´t developed that quickly...

Ori, one of the other offshoots of the US war effort in building up the air force, was the construction of hundreds of airfields. Many of them were handed over to civil authorities after the war, and became the nucleus of our present air transport system.

Also, the first use of helicopters in the "medevac" role was in Burma. This began a revolution of sorts in medical care for wounded soldiers (and now civilians)

South Africa kicks ass on that list , 51 kills is even better than the US and UK, wow I never knew we had so many kills for one pilot but, dam Erich Hartmann really did not take any **** when he went into combat.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

aces already get a lot of focus, parhaps he should do something less heard of, like sys suggested focus more on the airfields or something like the development of electronic warfare.........

[loomaluftwaffe]

like yer British ECM stuff right?

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes, some of which the Americans just copied and gave a new name but it is very itneresting and i must admit i don't know a great deal about it but i'm picking up quite a lot......
