Re: RAF aces in a day
Spitfire pilot Sgt. Ronnie Hamyln "The Pied Piper" of 610 Squadron was the RAF's first ace in a day of WWII. He shot down a Ju 88 and four Bf 109's on 24 August 1940. He earned the DFM for his feat. He destroyed a total of nine German planes during the Battle of Britain and two more during 1941. Hamyln survived the war and retired as a Wing Commander. He died in 1991.
