Re: 242 RCAF in BOF

Eric,
Notwithstanding your very long post, the fact is 242 Squadron was RAF, not RCAF. As I pointed out in my previous post in this thread, the only squadron with the RCAF title in Fighter Command at that time (Battle of Britain) was No.1 RCAF.

It was not out of the ordinary to group nationalities together. Look at 302 & 303 Squadrons in 1940 (albeit with the odd top scorer of another nationality included!). The trend was increased post-1940.
