  1. Only more in the Battle of Britain and while it was about 15 % more there were about twice as many Hurricanes

  2. If there were no Hurricanes but more Spitfires the Battle of Britain would still have been won, If there were no Spitfires but more Hurricanes that may not have been the case.

  3.  @rodgeranderson4922  Just like your claim that the Hurricane won the Battle of Britain aided by the Spitfire, there are many if's. the fact is that the Spitfire had a higher kill ratio and lower loss ratio and more often took on the fighters which was the more dangerous job.

  4.  @dovidell  They were invited but Russia controlled Poland at the time.

  5. We have to thank all 2,900 pilots, if it wasn't for all of them the Battle of Britain would have been lost. It is the height of ignorance to claim that one nation did more than any other, in fact very insulting to all the other pilots.

  6.  @johnsweda2999  I wonder if so many British pilots lost their lives and changed to Polish tactics. From all I have seen the Polish tended to be rather aggressive but not as disciplined as British pilots. If the RAF losses were worse and suddenly got less you might be right but that is not how it happened.
