It was pretty close there for a while. Had the Germans not had egomaniacal incompetant political appointees at the top level of strategy/tactical decision-making, they probably would have won the air war.

If I was in that kind of situation, I would have wanted a fall-back plan, no matter how desperate. Do what you want, but I do not intend to ever "go quietly into that good night". Kicking, screaming, eye-gouging and generally making them work for it is more my style. :evilgrin:
