How many aircraft in today’s RAF?
Would their Airships be able to launch 100 frontline types today?
No, but we could flatten the German trenches, take out all their aircraft on the ground, take out their command headquarters and the Reichstag before 5 pm tea and sarnies. Whilst conducting an info ops campaign on their radio frequencies and deploy a huge field hospital delivering first class critical care.
It's not about numbers.
