Re: Top Ten Hurricane aces
Marmaduke Pattle "SA"?
It is interesting to place him as a ace SA, in fact he was not accepted to join SAAF in 1933 (total lack of money in military aviation). Then he had to emigrate to GB and he joined RAF. The he had come from SA but was in fact pure RAF's ace, as he never was in SAAF. Such information is not correct. Next There were in I ww 50 aces from SA but they all did serve in RFC or RAF or RNAS. The same there were not aces of SA (origin yes). So all these pilots were in fact all RAF's aces (or British Commonwealth) So it is better to write: Marmaduke Pattle RAF (SA) Regards, mw
