Scotland, because we helped out a lot and didnt get much credit at all (we never do).

I do not completely agree with those. The german He-111 pilots must've had a lot of balls as well to fly unescorted to the UK. And I'm pretty sure there were a lot of skilled pilots on the German side, but they could only fly for 20 mins over Britain.

anybody that gets in the air to dogfight back then had balls.

Except the russians, they didnt even realise they were airbourne, they were to pissed on vodka hahaha
