BOB Israeli

At the very end of the film "Battle of Britain" it lists the number of foreign pilots who fought in it.

The last on the list says "Israeli - 1".

This caused some stir at the time since Israel didn't exist in 1940, and by rights it should have said "Palestinian".

But no fuss was made because this was 1969, just 2 years after the Six Day War, and the atmosphere in the West was generally pro-Israeli.

If it wasn't Weizman, any idea who this one BOB "Israeli/Palestinian" was?
