What prevented the German air force from driving off the Royal Navy and open the way for a German invasion of Britain?
ChuckSiata
Theoretically the German air force would have been able to destroy British ships that would prevent German troop transport ships from crossing the English Channel. In the Summer of 1940 Germany had 1,300 bombers that included 300 dive bombers. The problem would be bad weather that would hamper German air attacks on the British fleet. Also, not all of Britain's navy could be destroyed, so German troop transports would be attacked. The other problem was that it would be difficult for a German army to be supplied from German bases in France. With that said, the struggle for a German invasion would have been long and costly for Germany.
