Re: Americans in the RAF in 1940
The assertion that 10,000 Americans were in the RAF during the BoB period or 1940 is erroneous. I have heard this before and I believe it is a "chinese whispers" evolution of the complete amount of Americans who served in the RCAF in WWII (which if memory serves was 8,500 or so - sorry away from my books at the moment).
