Re: USAAF officers in UK mid 1941
Franek
I know Lt Zemke (later Col 'Hub' Zemke) and Lt Allison were in the UK mid 1941 with regards P40 Tomahawks and were involved testing/handling with the RAF.
They were then sent to Russia as observors and for air testing with Operation Dervish - first convoy to Russia in August 1941. Here they air tested about 40 P40C/Tomahawk IIB's before handing them over to the VVS (mainly Zmmek as Allison went to Moscow).
Of course at this time the US were still neutral.
Never heard of the other ones I am afraid
