Talk:Battle of Britain

second paragraph

The second paragraph comes from out of the blue, doesn't relate to the first paragraph at all, and, unless, the reader already knows a lot about the Battle of Britain, is essentially meaningless. For instance: "the fighters" -- what fighters? what were they doing? why? "the radars" -- what radars? etc. etc. I hesitate to simply delete the whole paragraph, but it should either be greatly expanded, greatly rewritten, or moved somewhere else.

any pictures?

any pictures that could go in this article? Tom Kelly 12:31, 20 September 2008 (CDT)

Any suggestions for U.K. copyright-free/PD photos? IIRC, the RAF doesn't just release them as does the USAF. I have seen some good maps and diagrams, but, again, it's a rights problem. Anybody in the UK near a museum and could take some pictures? There are probably some U.S. military photos of the German aircraft, but it's a good question if the aircraft alone, rather than showing how they were used, adds that much to an article.

I'd probably have to redraw the radars, and a drawing is definitely preferable to a photo; thin lattices do not photograph well. I haven't illustrated radar; I just wasn't sure how much people would be interested in antennas, or displays that are fairly incomprehensible without training (drawings often explain better).
