When they were planning an invasion they quickly realised that they needed complete air and naval superiority, which they accepted they were not going to get. Due to the weather in the channel they could only try and cross by Sept 1940. They had a decent attempt at winning the air battle in August but realised that they were not dominant enough. This is a half truth They didn't fail because "they realized they were not dominant" they failed because they stopped tageting RAF targets and started targets civilians because they thought "Hurting morale" did more than blowing up military targets. And even then when they gave up, the UK was on the brink. You keep bringing up numbers as if it was a zero sum game. The UK's situation was desperate, Germany didn't realize this. If they had kept the battle going or fought correctly, The UK would have broken and fallen. Although your point about pilots is true. Lots of UK pilots survived being shot down and flew again. Germans even if they survived landed in hostile territory --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:955186054] in What if Hi...
