BoB 7th. September 1940 Luftwaffe switch targets.

Just when it seemed the Luftwaffe may have achieved their aim in destroying 11 Group's airfields in South East England, Hitler, furious with RAF; pretty pathetic; bombing of Berlin, ordered the main focus to be switched to The British capital, London. This was in effect the one and only Luftwaffe '1000' aircraft raid; and fighters outnumbered bombers 2:1! While the RAF did not do that well, the good news was the Group 11 airfields were spared.
I don't think I actually have 1000 LW aircraft in these missions as I don't have all the information on units involved; for instance I have no evidence of II. Fliegerkorps action plans for that day; only I. Fliegerkorps, and I am not sure how complete that is. I more or less guessed II. Fliegerkorps activity and units from snippets here and there.

These are from a test of a new set of BoB missions for that day.

We're the 'Big Wing"? That's what happens when we take too long to assemble!
