Thankfully we didn't have yaks. We had the best if British and did kick adolf in the bollocks when no one else was. That is historical fact and something I'm immensely proud of as an Englishman. As it's currently the 70th anniversary of the Battle at this very moment I would tread very carefully with your wit.
I am American, but I'm also Soviet Ace!

Yeah, I was reading up on the BoB in one of my latest Aircraft History Magazines in the mail; had Hurricanes, Spits, 109s, etc. all cut up and showing their insides. (Drawn diagrams, not actual Spits, Hurricanes, etc. )

Still think you guys should have bought some trusty Yaks.
