You can give us what happened as much as you like, Teribus. The fact remains that you cannot give us what did not happen because it did not happen.

Let us take your last example. The Gloster Gladiator would have been anihilated. Fair enough, I really don't know and don't care. So, the Gloster Gladiator was annihilated. The Luftwaffe won the battle of Britain. A joint venture between the USA and the UK fast tracked an intercontinental ballistic missile with a nuclear warhead and Germany was wiped of the face of the earth with it.

If ifs and ands were pots and pans...
