From: Arther Ferrill <ferrill@milton.u.washington.edu> Bitnet Address: ferrill@max.bitnet Office Phone: (206) 543-4797 Home Phone: (206) 282-6139 X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.2 PL0] Can anybody tell me what the total manpower strength of the RAF was in 1940 when churchill gave the "Never have so many..." speech. I know that he was referring only to a few hundred fighter pilots, but I would like to know total strength, say at the end of the year or exactly at the time of the speech if possible. Also would appreciate having a reference that I could refer to in a footnote.
