The 13yr old schoolgirl and talented mathematician who played a pivotal role in helping design the guns used by the RAF in the Spitfires and Hurricanes that won the Battle of Britain.    It was Hazel, whilst assisting her aircraft designer father, who made the critical calculations which persuaded the RAF to install an upgraded 8 cannon system to their fighter aircraft, rather than the 6 cannons that were originally planned, widely regarded as having provided the Allied pilots with the critical offensive advantage that ultimately enabled them to defeat their German counterparts. Yes that's right, if it wasn't for this one 13yr old girl, the Battle of Britain(which began 80yrs ago today) and perhaps Britain itself, would have been lost to the Nazis. |

She was a mass murderer. If she has a statue it should be pulled down.

@ eyesore - 10.07.20 - 12:25pm And lets not forget the polish and there contribution to the battle of Britain I saw some documentary about them that said they were all a bit crazed, they had such hatred for the Germans they ignored their own safety just for the chance to fire on them. |

They were certainly well motivated. 20 per cent of pilots were polish , the most distinguished squadron of the whole battle was a polish squadron.. they don't get the press they deserve
