@OleLeik The fact is that, in the inter-service infighting which habitually goes on in Britain, the RAF had generally come out ahead of the RN. Now, when there was an actual military situation, the RAF was revealed to be a paper tiger. This was a cause of considerable alarm for the chaps in light blue uniforms, and the complex and largely pointless Vulcan raid was created to paper over the actual powerlessness of the RAF. Of course, the RAF propaganda machine has since been hard at work, and reliably informed us that the Vulcan raid made all the difference. The RAF have been doing this consistently since the mid 1920s, the days of Trenchard, so we should not really be surprised.

Why was he a war criminal? He proposed a strategy which might have removed the Ottoman Empire from the war. Asquith authorised it, and military men planned the operation. Do you serious think that the carnage of the Western Front was the only credible option?
