Re: 242 RCAF in BOF

Maybe we should rename 609 Squadron '609 Squadron plus 1/3 USAAF' once the three American pilots joined during the Battle of Britain...

Of course there is pride in national identity, but it suddenly did not make a whole shoal of RAF fighter squadrons in 1940 to be 'less RAF', or 'non-RAF'. Honour titles were given to many RAF fighter squadrons in 1940, not just (Canadian). How about 303(Kosciuszku), or 302 (City of Poznan), for starters...

Stop trying to re-write history, VonWaffen. It's pathetic what you are trying to do...

I will reiterate. Read this carefully. There was only ONE official Canadian squadron with Fighter Command in 1940, and that was No.1 RCAF. There were MANY nationalities flying in Fighter Command at that time.

Not difficult to grasp, really.
