The High Calling

Cover The High Calling
Authors:
Genres: Fiction
The Luftwaffe had taken on the aura of an invincible force. Every distinguished visitor to Germany was filled with stories of the invincibility of Göring’s air force. These visitors returned to their homes with dire predictions.
    One of them, Charles Lindbergh, toured the air stations and factories of Germany and on his return issued a gloomy prediction. He stated that he felt German air strength was greater than that of all other European countries combined. Germany had the means to destroy
... London, as well as Paris and Prague, if she wished to do so. England and France together did not have enough modern equipment for effective defense or counterattack.
    Lindbergh’s words were shored up by the ease with which the Luftwaffe wiped out the Polish air force in May. The might of such an air force no longer seemed arguable. How could Britain possibly expect to win against an enemy reputed to have forty-five hundred first-line aircraft, while the Royal Air Force had no more than twenty-nine hundred?
