Would earlier naval jets overturn the Inskip Award?

Would earlier Royal Navy control of the Fleet Air Arm and faster jet development change the Inskip Award?

Probably not; the RAF would fight harder to retain influence, so the award remains likely even though the Fleet Air Arm develops differently.

The Inskip Award would probably occur broadly as it did historically. Earlier naval control could accelerate Fleet Air Arm access to jet technology, but it would also give the RAF a stronger reason to resist losing authority over aviation. That sharper interservice fight might reinforce the pressures behind the 1937 division. The institutional settlement can therefore remain while its technological consequences become much more important.
