Did anyone see that show on the History Channel tonight about the Battle of Britain? What game was that they were using to demonstate formations??

I thought it was a pretty cool show if not a little watterd down. I know some Germanphile will chime in about how biased the show was, but oh well.

Too bad they destroyed those spitfire model RC planes!

I have a funny feeling that Hitech's going to be trying out one of his "experiments" if people don't start cooling thier jets a bit here in the Oclub.

They contributed. The majority were British natives.

"The RAF recognises 2440 British and 510 overseas pilots who flew at least one authorised operational sortie with an eligible unit of the Royal Air Force or Fleet Air Arm during the period 10 July to 31 October 1940. This group includes 139 Poles, 98 New Zealanders, 86 Canadians, 84 Czechoslovakians, 29 Belgians, 21 Australians, 20 South Africans, 13 French, 10 Irish, 7 Americans, a Jamaican, a Palestine Jew and a Southern Rhodesian."

The Poles were snubbed at the 1946 Victory Parade.   The Poles had more kills than ANY other RAF Sqaudrons in WWII.   So, they did MORE THAN "contribute".
