RAF Overseas Force Faces Nazi Threat in Speech
Air Under-secretary Harry Balfour told the Overseas club that Britain's Royal Air Force is an overseas force with growing internationalism. He noted the Eagle squadron from the United States and daily cooperation with Polish, Czech, and Free French pilots. He argued RAF progress is measured by gradual victories and morale, not ships and armies, as London endures battle and material damage. Germany cannot win by ignoring military objectives while the RAF targets vital German war industries to cripple their capability and morale.
