  1. Why did the British buy emasculated P38s (no turbo chargers) when they already had Whirlwinds that needed better engines or even just improved cooling.

  2. The argument about materials (3x as much metal) as a Spitfire also applied to the De Havilland Mosquito. Why were we making massive bombers when two Mosquitoes could carry more than one four engine bomber of the day. More importantly at high speed and with 1/2 the crew numbers. Lancaster was the exception but we were flying Halifax and Stirlings and others long into the war.
