Re: RAF & American pilots against the V-1
Yes, I know that there were three agreements between the British and Polish governments:
June 1940 - first agreement creating 2 Polish bomber squadrons and a training centre
August 1940 - transfer of sovereignty of Polish airmen to the Polish government (thus they could wear Polish insignia etc)
August 1944 - transfer of units to Polish command
However, what I am saying is that in every sense they came under RAF control for missions, deployment, equipment, traing etc. And the RCAF, RAAF, SAAF, RNZAF and IAF were also recognised as seperate entities under RAF operational control.
And the Free French Squadrons were under the same restraints, even though they were offically under the control of De Gualle, even though a lot of French pilots flew with RAF squadrons
