摘要

Britain's royal air force was a wildly multinational organization during World War Ⅱ. As Nazi Germany overran one European country after another, thousands of refugees from those occupied countries volunteered to carry on the fight in the RAF. Consequently, by the end of the conflict such countries as Poland, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Norway and Denmark boasted an "ace of aces" who had spent at least some of his combat career in an RAF squadron. Commonwealth countries, some of which had their own air arms, also had personnel serving in the RAF, of whom New Zealand's Colin F. Gray and Canada's George Beurling rose to become their respective nations' highest-scoring fighter pilots. To that list could be added volunteers from neutral countries, such as Brendan Finucane of Ireland and Thorsteinn Jonsson of Iceland. Leading them all were two South Africans: Marmaduke Thomas St. John Pattle, whose 51 claims over North Africa and Greece prior to his death on April 20,1941, made him the RAF's unofficial ace of aces, and Adolf Gysbert "Sailor" Malan, who by the end of July 1941 was officially the leader of the pack in Britain, with 27 enemy planes destroyed and another seven shared with fellow pilots.
