I'm the one that needs to get my facts straight? No.71, 121 and 133 squads were ENTIRELY AMERICAN. I'm not gonna sit by and let some ignorant brit brag about how they had the war at hand and Americans came in for mopp up duty. What a joke. It's a dishonor to every American hero that gave their life in that war "helping the brits". I have nothing but respect for the brave brit's who faught and died in WWII. Many of them I read about often and shake my head in disbelief of their bravery. But to suggest that everything was under control is just utter nonsense.
One other thing.
American's vs Brit's 1-0

are you kidding me?
ALL the eagle squadrons were late 41 onwards, totally past the battle of britain. england fought hitler off on its OWN. hardly anyone disputes this, even most americans.
now, talking about insulting, i find it VERY offensive for a loudmouth to come along and claim that the british pilots didnt do what they did, and that it was america that saved them. my family has massive connections to britain's military, including the battle of britain. i can assure you that the americans had nothing to do with us kicking german arse from 1939-1942
like i said, you find it insulting that i think the brits held the germans off, like they did, then i find it rude beyond belief that you claim the work of the british pilots during the early years to be american, and to say that they were helpless without you.
idiot
