It was also the heroism of the ordinary people - because of the blockade, we had to eat home grown vegetables of which potatoes and carrots were the most plentiful.
The myth was put out that our pilots were so good because they could see better in the dark by eating carrots but it was a cover to hide we had airborne radar. However, the myth was sponsored by the Ministry of Food that we would be able to see better in the blackout at night. Carrots were also a substitute for sugar, which was in short supply, in cakes. I like raw carrots - move over Bugs Bunny.
