Top Ten Spitfire aces

[knusel]

Good evening Juha,

Wade served in the RAF.
In fact he's the most successful American ace to fly in a foreign service.
He had 13 Hurricane kills and 10 Spitfire kills.

Kind regards,

Michael

...the top US Spitfire ace is John Lynch with 13 kills in that type.

Good evening,

I think, the Spitfire aces were the most international bunch of them all:

SPITFIRE TOP ACES BY NATION (nation/name/Spitfire score)
1. Great Britain: James Johnson 36,92
2. Canada: George Beurling 31,33
3. South Africa: Adolph Malan 29,75
4. Ireland: Brendan Finucane 29
5. New Zealand: Colin Gray 27,2
6. Greece: Ioannis Plagis 16
7. Australia: Paterson Hughes 15,17
8. France: Jean-Francois Demozay 13
9. USA: John Lynch 13
10. Rhodesia (independent from 1965 onwards): William Maguire 12
11. Norway: Svein Heglund 11,33
12. Poland: Eugeniusz Horbaczewski 11
13. Denmark: Kaj Birksted 10,5
14. Czechoslovakia (1918-1992): Otto Smik 9
15. Belgium: Yvan Du Monceau 8
16. Netherlands: Hugh Godefroy 7
17. Soviet Union (1922-1991): Sergey Martynov 6

However, somewhere I read that Hugh Godefroy had the Canadian citizenship. Did he have the Dutch citizenship, too ?

Cheers,

Michael
