@@TheOperationsRoom You can on the Beaufighter, it was a lethal mistake. Too much torque, it affected the stability and led to a lot of pilots being killed. They only did it because the Hercules engine was in short supply and needed for bombers. Its part of that big list of production problems that get glossed over because they were exceeded by combat losses. For example the P-51 had structural problems and would shed its wings in flight. TheMosquito was designed for european service, the glue would fail in the far east and the wings disassembled. The C-46 leaked fuel that would detonate in flight. Theres a long and impressive list, Merlin Beaufighters are high on it.

Here's my Pov as a frenchman *this is a rushed and half-assed answer De Gaulle was a man who did not lack any courage as he leaded a tank counter-attack during the Dunkirk retreat, that counter-attack was semi-sucessful due to the germans stretching their logistic lines but due to the chaos of allied troops organization,it wasn't put in profit and had to retreat. Now something you forgot to mention was that Churchill and DeGaule started a cordial relationship but deteriorated due to conflicing views and the fact De Gaule (and a lot of French people) never forgot the Fact that the US an UK tried to administrate France after the libération this was view as another backstab (after Dunkirk where some British general tried to leave the french soldiers defending the re-embarkment,Mers-el-kebir,Paris Failed Bombings)As pamphlets describing the new Anglo-US governance were ready to be drop on France degaulle rushed in France to block this Plan.
