Not an Ace but did fly Hurricanes.  Seriously injured in a crash.

In 1941, he shot down two Ju 88's in April, one Potez 63 in June, and another Ju 88 in June.  Also in April, he fought the Battle of Athens during which 22 LW fighters were shot down.  Some sources attribute one or more of them to Dahl (like the sources used for this one:  http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Roald_Dahl ).  I don't know if there is a more-official tally somewhere.

I think John Belushi already established what he would fly.

Ah, yes!

I was going from his biography I have.  He never claims that but does talk about the effects of the crash on him

I'd figure him for more of a P-40 kind of guy.
