I remember reading about two African pilots in one squadron. This is very politically incorrect but very true. It stuck in my mind as the new Squadron Leader asked them why they had the nicknames five to and ten to. They smiled and ten to told him that as five to was darker, he was called five to as five to midnight was darker than ten to midnight.
Heaven only knows which book this was in.
My other story was of a USAAF navigator who was spending time with an RAF bomber squadron. He was from the South, racist and very unpopular. The Squadron Leader put him in a crew where the pilot was from Africa.
As you probably know in an RAF crew the pilot is in charge no matter what his rank. So this American not only had to do what an African pilot told him to do, he had to take orders from a sergeant as well.
