To me "renegade" means to "go against or to oppose the status quo".
I am thinking that at 1940 the United States was not in the war yet and offically neutral so the american eagle squadron pilots could be considered "renegade". In fact there may have been talk of prosecution back then, not sure on that one though. For a young american to sign up to fight for anothers armed forces when most of thier peers oppossed the war is quite renegade indeed. Heck most of those pilots just showed up and got there themselves somehow...
To me the french and pole fighters were simply fighting for their countries not what I would call renegade as I am sure all of their countrymen were cheering them on in silent while watching the grey hoarde pass.
Yeah im thinking eagle squadron pilots are what renegade is refering to.
