It's always the stocky conversation. You know, the plucky few against the kind of the, you know, the Nazi hordes and all the rest of it. And it's just it's a complete misnomer. And by that time, aircraft production in Britain is massively outpacing the Germans. And the best ratio that the Germans achieve in 1940 is July 1940, when the British produced 496 aircraft.

new Hurricanes and Spitfires single-engine fighters, and the Germans only produced 240 single-engine fighters. That's the best ratio. Of course, that is the British outproducing the Germans two to one. What that means is by the end of October 1940, when the Battle of Britain is officially designated as being over, the single-engine fighter force of the Luftwaffe is less than 200.

from 750 or whatever it was in the beginning of July, whereas the British fighter force had been 650 or whatever. The beginning of July is now well over 750. And Britain is outproducing. Yeah, to a massive degree. And that continues. And that is a ratio that just increases as the war progresses. I mean, Britain produces 132,500 aircraft in the Second World War. America produces 315,000.
