Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
The problm is for example with Jozef Frantisek a Czech, fought in Polish Squadron in BoB (17 claims) and this squadron no 303 was never RAF but Polish one. Polish Air Force was subordianted to RAF, but was not a RAF.
The question is: whose ace Jozef Frantisek.
During BoB were also Czech fighter squadon, and when you put this letter CZ it is not in fact clear?
For me J.F. was our ace (Polish-Czechoslovak). He was in defence of Poland in IX 39 and later served in Polish 303. (PAF) Squadron. He never in his war career did serv in Czechoslovak or RAF unit.
During each war for many man is very imporatnt such value as Brothers in Arms, this is much more stronger feeling then common nationality.
