Default A question for you..
I came across several yanks t'other day that proclaimed America 'won' the Battle of Britain for us by giving us loads of pilots.. (do Americans actually do history at school?)

My question to you lot is, how many American pilots do you reckon took part in the Battle of Britain?

.

10 American pilots flew in the Battle of Britain....10......10 whole pilots..GOD BLESS AMERICA FOR WINNING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN FOR US!

2353 British Pilots, 574 From overseas, and 10 of them were from America. Yet still Americans proclaim they won the battle of Britain...and people wonder why America isnt particularly liked...

btw do you even know what it is? ;d
