Re: RAF & American pilots against the V-1

The Czech, Dutch, Norwegian and French governments in exile were formally recognised by London and the Allies from 1940. The Danes did not have a government in exile.

Czechs lead by Edvard Beneš (the ex-President) , fled in 1938 and tried to get formal recognition of his government after the Germans took over. This was finally accorded in accorded in July 1940.

Holland's Queen Wilhelmina kept the gov-in-exile going after the splits between those who wanted to return and collaborate and those who wanted to resist. Formal recognition of her actions were ratified by the Dutch government in 1946.

In October 1940 a Belgian government-in-exile was formally established in London. The Prime Minister was Hubert Pierlo.

Norwegian gov in exile was established on 5th May 1940.

As to the title of the book - yes it would be a mouthful, and Grub Strret seem to prefer a pretty picture instead
