to my knowledge there were only 7 of which one gave his life for freedom.

 :salute

More of those seven died.  Billy Fiske died during the B of B, but I'm hard pressed to remember if any survived.  Art Donahue from Minnesota died in 42 over the Channel with 91 Squadron.  Shorty Keogh, Red Tobin and Andy Mamendoff died with the Eagle Squadrons, so that's 5 of the 7.  Can't remember the other guys names off the top of my head.

I thought "the few" were the brave American pilots that flew in the RAF during the battle of Britain?

nope, winston was referring to all the Allied pilots, of course including the handful of US pilots:

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"

:)


edit: pretty sure it was just 1 US pilot died during the BoB.

We are coming Rooks end of this tour.

Has been fun Bish and many of my guys have commented on enjoying their time with you.  It's all the same to me, kill or be killed.

Look forward to fighting you all again and rooks get granted 2 months reprieve.  :salute

The Few have 6 remaining slots to fill.  

I suggest any British or European player who wishes to fly with a squadron second to None!  submits an application form via our website

www.thefewsquadron.co.uk

Our squadron banter, friendship , brotherhood of virtual cartoon warriors can only enhance your gameplay experience.  If you fly GMT time zones then our squadron is for you.

getting your balls cupped by drBone is quite the experience,  some would actually pay for (I heard).   :bolt:

The application form is not that detailed, we do however need to make sure of some things like D.O.B and birth right.  

I can also extend the invitation to Spanish speaking indivaduals and suitable Americans.  We have branched out a little but of course not in a horde like fashion.

The Eagle Aces are always on the look out for experienced members.  Don't be shy come talk to Bruv and he will sort you out.

The Few welcomes Zack1234 into our squadron.

This goes to show that we do officially support Northerners and there is no North / South divide inequality within our squadron. :cheers:

Without folk like Zack our country and squadron would be nothing.    :old:
