Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
Hello Mirek,
I can understand your point, however, it's rather difficult for me to imagine that Frantisek felt being something different than Czech.
Poland has a long history of its heroes being claimed by other nations: Kopernikus, Chopin, Marie Curie, Pope John Paul...
Germany's number of similar cases is somewhat shorter: Mozart, Einstein...
In my German perspective, the nationality of the parents is decisive for a person's nationality. However, French and Americans might see this totally different.
...but back to the Hurricane: Sadly, Polish Hurricane hero narrowly Witold Urbanowicz misses out the top ten (15 Hurricane kills).
Cheers,
Michael
