well that question has managed to scare us all nicely. what was the answer? Can you please name me the top 5 British Aces of WW2?
Nothing a bit of hunting wouldn't sort out. A google of "kangaroo kicking daschund" turns this up as the fifth result and provides the answer which is Bobby Gibbes: http://www.wings900.com/vb/all-other-scales/33159-more-raaf-warbirds-2.html
What do they always say? Read the bloody question properly. The clover on Finucanes aircraft sort of gives it away.
Paterson Clarence Hughes was Australia's highest Ace in the Battle of Britain. Commonly listed as 15 kills however officially He jumped successfully from his Spitfire however his parachute faied to open. I just achieved a photo of his headstone at Sutton St James Churchyard in Yorkshire for my project which I had been after for more than two years. Fittingly this photo completed all of my requirements in Yorkshire.
OK spidge Finucane is included, but I am afraid Braham is in the wrong place and you are missing one name.arty:
Top British Aces Kills Comment James "Johnnie" Johnson 38.0 top WWII British ace, flew Spitfires Brendon E. Finucane 32.0 Irish, 65 Sqn, later KIA Robert Braham 29.0 POW June '44, nightfighter,3DSO,3DSC Robert Stanford Tuck 29.0 2+ years as POW, 92 & 257 Sqns F. R. Carey 28.0 43 Sqn J. H. "Ginger" Lacey 28.0 Hawker Hurricane pilot, 501 Sqn OK spidge your question :dance:
Okay -Here goes! Who am I? During WW2, I was a Flying Ace and also an "Ace in a Day" I shot down Aircraft from Italy, Britain & Germany.
Nice one Spidge, Blimey a real puzzler. An anti aircraft gun on Battersea power station is the only thing i can think of but i'm not sure the Italians came over here to bomb London. My only other guess can only be some American pilot in a friendly fire incident, haha. Sniper :assassin:
Pierre Le Gloan 4 Germans 7 Italian and 7 British, he flew with French Air Force against Germans and Italians it was against the Italians in June 1940 that he shot down five in one day. He was a pilot for the Vichy French in the Syrian Campaign that was when he shot down 7 British planes. After that his Squadron along with many others joined the Allied cause again Complicated days those of WW2.
