Mexican in the RAF

[cpaige5@hotmail.com]

I just finished reading a book that interviewed numerous Canadian airmen and found it interesting that he mentions that a Mexican born in Mexico was KIA flying in the RAF in 1944. Does anyone know of other unusual foreign pilots in the RAF? Another airman mentions there was an Indian flying as a navigator in his squadron.

Indian is not unusual as they served as part of the crown.
I saw a photo once of a dark-skinned gentleman from one of the Caribbean Islands, who was KIA flying fighters.
