Kind of you to be so considerate but not necessary buddy. We frequently have members of all nationalities and we all get along just nicely despite the language barriers. Battle of Britain relied on Polish and French pilots in the end despite Air Marshall Dowding mistakenly thinking they could not make an effective contribution due to the language barriers - he admitted he was wrong.........get in your cockpit and enjoy!

Seeing as most on here love their WWII history I thought I'd flesh out SEEs comment..

Nationalities that fought for the RAF during the BoB..
(Number of Pilots with 1 operational sortie)

GB - 2353
Poland - 139
New Zealand - 98
Canada - 86
Czech - 84
Belgium -29
Australia - 21
South Africa - 20
France - 13
Ireland - 10
USA - 7
Jamaica - 2
Eygpt, Austria, Palestine and Rhodesia - 1 (Each.. not some sort of Frankenpilot)

So it was a very mixed bag!

LOL there has to be a WW2 themed Cool Runnings film in that, surely? That would be sweet... Awesome dogfighting with mess hall lolz. What could go wrong? And if they don't do a gag where a load of smoke comes out when he pulls he cockpit canopy back, they're missing a trick :)

c'est bien olife... could you make some room on your PSN list though, it is full

I never know when you are online

I think Billy Bishop the ww1 ace was Canadian too.

Maybe that's where they invented air hockey.

Oh wait, I forgot, hockey was invented in Russia.

Don't apologize because you are one of the hardest workers in this game. No doubt you will soon become an even more efficient killer than you already are.

I just wondered: how come you're not flying your deadly I-153 in the tournament?

As far as I understand, as long as you're not an officer, you are allowed to...

Make those spitfires go up in flames my friend.

u are strong too and a very good player to do a tacticals
very honored to fly with u
i don't use the 153 cause even it is the best plane in tight turns,too much engine failures if i use it without precautions and the precautions are not the best things i do in fight ,i must progress
i m afraid to penalize u guys of my team with the poor engine of the 153 and with my too risky attitude with this plane

good hunting my friend!down the spits!!

That would be cool. I've always wondered about the Jamaican pilots. Not being funny, but surely they must have been white Jamaicans? I just can't see the RAF in 1940 being culturally enlightened enough to allow black pilots, although I'd be happy if i'm wrong. And happier if they happened to be Rasta's.

Sadly it seems they were probably both white.. Herbert Capstick was one of them and he was white.. Can't find any mention of the other guy.

There was a quite famous black Lancaster pilot tho. And a few Spitfire pilots later on in the war.
