You mean it wasn't intended to pound the Germans, to leave marks on the
Reich ?


....to spread panic and depression


....so the Germans lose interest in warfare - leaving them broker than ever


all at a time when Britain had to fight a loan....

And while it did fly some 3 1/2 months before the onset of WWII, it didn't
enter service until 1941, so not really "Between the Wars".

If it was designed, manufactured and first flown between
the wars then it is Between The Wars in my book........
