| I guess the RAF didn't have to pay for the lesson in blood the way the US military did during Vietnam but the lesson of how innefective a gunless fighter is was proven time and again. It truly is a pity that lessons keep having to be relearned and often the cost is in blood of soldiers who might still be alive if some beancounter hadn't gotten queasy. The old probverb of folks who don't know history are doomed to repeat it still rings true.
