Well, I am afraid there is no escape from history, which is both amusing and surprising.
Did you know that one of the founders of SS in Nuremberg was certain Salomon von Pfeffer? Or that one of the few British SS-men was of the name Courlander?
In the 304 Sqn there were two Jewes, one from NYC and one from Argentina. One day there was a show for the airmen but among flags presented on the scene there was no Polish one (Soviet and US were present). This caused a mass protest and the Polish airmen left the theatre, all but the American guy. When asked why he did not, he said that there was a falg, having in mind US one, this causing a lot of laugh among Poles. Anyway this caused Argentinian so infuriated that he had beaten American. British OC learned only that a Jew was beaten, however, and asked about mitreatment of minorities. This again caused Argie red-hot, who, with a Jewish accent commented: 'What? He is a minority? I am a minority' and got to beat American again. Finally all was settled in peaceful way, but the story circulated long after the event.

Concerning Adler brothers, yes, there was quite a number of Jewes in the People's Aviation but most of them served after the war. Reputedly some scored some successes in Israeli's wars but due to their Hebrew names, they are unrecognisable. I recall a story told by a Syrian jet pilot who studied in Poland. Once he met Israeli jets over Golan and got on their frequency. In order to keep communications secret, the latter used a code. This was not a problem for Arabic after a few years spend in Poland, so he joined the discussion. At the end a lot of invectives were involved.
PS I am out for about a week or so.
