RAF Failed To Aid Two British Battleships
Philadelphia October 7 Royal Air Force fighters were reportedly half an hour away but did not reach the British battleships Repulse and Prince of Wales during the Japanese attack that sank them last December Admiral Thomas C Hart asserts in the Saturday Evening Post article. He cites RAF limits on Malaya and questions why no reconnaissance or fighter support was sent before the ships were sunk. Hart contrasts Allied air power with Japan's, arguing for lessons in organizing future defense and critiquing calls for a separate U S air force. Churchill’s statements in Parliament echoed the decision that drastic naval action was necessary and that only the Home Fleet carrier was available for intervention.
