Re: Defected Allied Pilots?
Re the Malta flight: I believe you are thinking of the American pilot who diverted to Algeria after complaining of engine problems, then tried to con the Vichy authotities into believing he was a US civil pilot.His RAF/RCAF colleagues had some doubt about this story, but after Operation Torch he did re-enlist in the USAAF and fly combat missions in the Med. theatre. So it shouldn't be counted as a defection to the other side in any way.
