Battle of Britain & France - Battle Pilots

[Iain Torrance]

As many of you know I focus on the Battle Squadrons in France, 1940. I thought it would be interesting to imagine a 'Battle of France Bar' - which I take as one operational flight between 10 May and 17 June from an areodrome in France - and see which Battle pliots would get that Bar and and a BoB Bar. My list below. Some impressive pilots !!

I've also added some pilots that came from Battle squadrons but I'm not certain they flew operationaly in France.

Welcome comments - and is there a list of Fairey Battle pilots that volunterred that I've overlooked in the official records?

Kind regards

Iain
