Russ,
When I said that the writing was on the wall, I was refering to the ground fighting and I fear I overstated. The British were evolving the elements of the all arms battle during this period which was the answer to the defence of the time. In the summer of 1918, the British tactics would be proven. It could be argued that the GAF was never defeated, but they certainly would have been if the war had lasted a bit longer.
