They have different commands.

So they have bomber command, fighter command, training command, coastal command, and they all have very specific roles. So they're structured in a completely different way. And that's because they're an island nation. And because they see their role militarily in a different way. And because the rearming that Britain has done in the 1930s is all about defense.

It is not about aggression at this point. Not about taking it to the enemy. It is showing you're tough, but also first and foremost, getting your ducks in a row and making sure that you don't get defeated. So this is the principle behind the world's first fully coordinated air defense system, which is the radar chain. It is observer core. It is control rooms.

It is interesting technology such as identification friend or foe, IFF, which is where you have a little pulse. So you have these control rooms, and you have a map table, and you have a tote board in front of you where you can see what squadrons are airborne, what state of readiness they're at, whether they're engaging the enemy. Little lights come on and show you. You can see weather maps.
