Also look at "A Piece of Cake", 6 part series based by Derek Robinson book. In latter half a American chap joins the crowd, and then toward the end was a little "misunderstand" with some Polish chaps. Not strictly about the invited pilots, but more of a big picture story, and a bit depressing because it does not pull the punches. |

there are 2,946 pilots credited with flying in the Battle of Britain, of these 574 were not British. That is 19.5%. Poland had the most at 145, New Zealand next with 135 followed by Canada with 112.

i am not a supernationalist but only put some data. I dont know the numbers of Arg pilots Some of the pilots were native Argentines, while the surnames of others reveal they were descended from British professionals who had helped develop the country's railways, mines and farms. Ricardo Moreno, 89, said: "The Argentines had the advantage that they were very sports-minded. They were good. They did very well in Britain because they were used to roughing it." ![]() 164 Strike.The Argentine Flying Officer Ronald Sheward (RAFVR) flying his Hurricane IV FJ-B (KX540) of the 164 Argentine Squadron of the RAF, strike over the Hansweert Channel (The Netherlands) on September 2, 1942. ![]()

I found out only recently that there were a few Indian pilots in the RAF as well.
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/Hi...PilotsRAF.html Few people realise that a number of Indian pilots took part in operations from England. At the height of the Battle of Britain, 24 Indian pilots were sent to the UK to under go conversion training and participate in Ops. Even though they could take part only after the Battle of Britain, many of them distinguished themselves flying operations with the various commands. Battle of Britain's last surviving Indian Pilot: http://news.bbc.co.uk/local/kent/hi/...00/8872500.stm |
