The Belgian flight was mirrored across other squadrons with other nationalities; a squadron on Malta had a flight made up of US volunteers, others had a strong French contingent.

Eventually, the RAF formed dedicated units for exiled flyers; the Poles obviously, the French, and Norwegian and Czech all had one or more squadron.

As for the Belgians? I think this site may help you:

I'd focus my attention on 349 and 350....


I just wondered - were there any Swiss flying for the Tommies?

On the other side there was v.Werra and maybe a few others.
