Ok, I have to give a big apology to the world (except nazi Germany)?
just put up a q concerning the RAF's brave fighter command 70 years ago - what I should also have said was this: they were joined and helped by other courageous young men (many of the RAF Spitfire pilots were only 18 - 19) these men were from: Poland, Canada, France, Check, USA and anyone who had escaped from hitler. I think these brave young men, flying Spits and Hurricanes, meeting wave after wave of bombers with ME109 escorts are the ones who showed the world not to lie down and give in. To the brave (multi cultured) me of the RAF, I say thank you. anyone else got anything to add? (feel free, that's what it's all about)
Chimic - you're a t**t - If you don't like it, don't read it!
Absolutely, and even today, when you have control of the skies, you are in a far better situation than having countless soldiers on the ground. Young men from all over the 'free' World, not just pilots but ground crew too, all religions, something we could learn eh.
BTW The NZ er wasn't a flying pilot, Air Chief Marshall Sir Keith Park was a brilliant tactician and commanded the 'Battle of Britain' forces.
