During World War 2 in England, the observer corps would observe enemy aircraft and call in their speed, direction, and height to a central location. That would alert the Royal Air Force where to send its Spitfire fighter planes. As a result, the Royal Air Force could keep almost all of its aircraft on the ground most of the time with its gas tanks full and its guns loaded. The Germans did not have that luxury.
