Thanks for the story, I know he (Pat Pattle) was one of the highest scoring RAF aces (if not highest) whose memory was all but lost in a horrible retreat. I also believe he netted a majority of his victories in an outdated gloster gladiator. The twelve or so you mentioned likely were all they had to put in the air. My family is Greek and believe it or not the old greeks will always mention him if the war is ever brought up. Thanks again for anouther gret story!!!!!
