 History of Bungay Castle
The Bungay lands, together with Framlingham and other sites, were subsequently presented to Roger Bigod, in 1103, The Bigods were an illustrious Norman family, and had assisted in the conquest of England, The property was inherited in I120 'by Roger's son, Hugh, who had a forceful and charismatic personality.
In order to subdue him, Stephen was obliged to march upon Bungay in 114O but in the negotiations which followed, Stephen found it expedient to reward Bigod with the title of Earl of Suffolk in order to win his future loyalty.
When Henry II acceded to the throne in 1154 he deprived Hugh of his lands both in Bungay and Framlingham, although he was permitted to retain his title of Earl.

 The Most Dangerous Enemy: A History of the Battle of Britain - Stephen Bungay   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Stephen Bungay has evidently done very thorough research for this book, and there is a great deal of information woven through the individual stories.
But thankfully Bungay hits the nail on the head with a view that is contrary to the consensus: the British war machine was far more efficient than the Germans'; that the Germans didn't have the industrial capacity to replace the aircraft lost over England.
Bungay estmates that only about 5% of the pilots on either side became aces, because it was a rare person who could be both a great pilot and an accurate marksman under the circumstances.

 Alamein (Stephen Bungay)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Stephen Bungay's last book, "The Most Dangerous Enemy", broke new ground in military history by analysing the strategic and organisational elements of the conflict in terms of modern management thinking.
Bungay's analysis of logistics is again painstaking and insightful, showing the importance of communications (particularly of Bletchley's brilliance at decryption) and the criticality of the large "overhead" that so disturbed Churchill.
The deep analysis and managerial insight Bungay has brought to this work has again shown itself to be a powerful framework for gaining a revealing and fresh perspective on historical events and a refreshingly original experience for the reader.

 alan little’s weblog
I recently read Stephen Bungay’s The Most Dangerous Enemy: A History of the Battle of Britain.
Bungay is a management consultant and his take on matters, clearly based on experience of how things work in the real world, is refreshingly different from academinc historians and their tendency to see everything through the lens of why Dr. B is wrong about what Professor A said about it.
He presents the German command structure as amateurish and poorly co-ordinated, muddling and improvising their way to defeat; whereas RAF Fighter Command were professionals rigorously and successfully executing a well-prepared plan – contrary to British mythology and, as he sees it, nothing to be ashamed of.

 Amazon.ca: Books: The Most Dangerous Enemy: A History of the Battle of Britain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Bungay explains the British victory was based on a superb plan of operations and aircraft development that began in earnest in 1936 and was rigorously carried out in 1940.
Bungay convincingly dispels the two enduring myths about the Battle of Britain - firstly, the image of the ruthlessly efficient Nazi War machine pitted against the valiant but amateurish "old school tie" RAF, and secondly the perceived wisdom that the Battle was a "close run thing".
However, even whilst dispelling the myths, Bungay succeeds in doing so without detracting in any way from the courage and heroism shown by the young men and women on both sides.

Park, who Bungay feels is the best strategic fighter commander aver, was moved to training command soon after the Blitz began and Dowding was shifted from his post.
Bungay's final thesis is that, for Western civilisation as a whole" the Battle of Britain was the most important battle in WWII.

The actual battle is dispensed with in a chapter or so, more as a way of demonstrating that the institutional factors predicted the nature of the battle.

 Systems Engineering: -Ilities for Victory
As a result, these requirements are usually watered down or dropped altogether, but as the Spitfire showed, modifiability can be a war-winning -ility, along with sheer performance.
The Spitfire’s build quality was far above the average for allied equipment at that time; as Bungay drily remarks, most allied equipment was much worse than the other side’s.
Bungay has however organized an astonishing wealth of accurate information to tell the story properly with hindsight, for no-one at the time really knew all of what was happening, though Keith Park suspected most of it.

 Alamein, by Stephen Bungay - Military Ink   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It was a defeat from which Rommel would never recover, and a turning-point in the war famously celebrated by Churchill as 'the end of the beginning' — the line in the sand Hitler's forces were unable ever to cross.
Like his magisterial history of the Battle of Britain, The Most Dangerous Enemy — already acknowledged as the definitive account — Stephen Bungay's Alamein is a trenchant re-examination of an event now cloaked in myth.
Though the propaganda of the time focussed on personalities, this was a desert war, he reveals, determined largely by logistics.

 The Most Dangerous Enemy A History of the Battle of Britain
Though many books have been written on the Battle of Britain since the end of the Second World War, Stephen Bungay's book offers some fresh insights on the Battle.
Using material from both British and German sources, Bungay shows that the Luftwaffe, despite its impressive show of strength from Poland to the defeat of France in June 1940, was not capable of waging a strategic bombing campaign against Britain which could have defeated it.
Germany, full of hubris in the summer of 1940, made the mistake of underestimating the capacity of the RAF to challenge the Luftwaffe and Britain's will to fight for its survival.
