That will be because of the fact that there were NO "black pilots" in the RAF at that point of the war. Quite understandable really as the black population of the UK at the time comprised less than 0.001% of the overall population.

302 were barely involved in the fighting, and while celebrating the bravery, skill and success of Polish "Kościuszko" 303 sqd, the top scoring RAF squadron of the battle of Britain, also remember the other nationalities who flew as part of the squadron during the battle and who contributed SO much to its success. Polish "Kościuszko" 303 Sqd total kill tally - 58.5 confirmed kills Squadron commander, Sqd Ldr Ronald Gustave Kellett (British) - 5 confirmed kills "A" Flight commander, Fl Lt John Alexander Kent (Canadian) - 6 confirmed kills "B" Flight commander, Fl Lt Athol Stanhope Forbes (British) - 7 confirmed kills. Sgt pilot Josef František (Czechoslovakian) - 17 confirmed Kills. We in the UK remember ALL the pilots (and NOT just the Polish ones).

I thought I'd create a simple "visual aid" in order to assist people learning about the history of the battle of Britain. There is much ongoing debate about the nationalities and proportions of RAF fighter pilots who took part in the battle, with occasionally a furtive aspect which attempts to portray the battle as a victory of "mostly foreign pilots". Below is a graphical representation of the proportion of pilot nationalities serving within RAF Fighter Command during the summer of 1940. Each flag is roughly equivalent to 30 pilots, The numbers after each nation are the ACTUAL number of aircrew from that country, and the approximate percentage of RAF Fighter Command's establishment in the summer of 1940 that they represented. The figures are taken from the RAF records of the awards of the highly coveted "Battle of Britain clasp" to the British 1939-45 Campaign Star. Which was SCRUPULOUSLY only awarded to RAF & Fleet Air Arm aircrew who flew at least one active sortie in the UK in any RAF fighter aircraft between 10th July 1940 and 31st Oct 1940. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 UK (2342) (80%) 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱 Poland (145) (5%) 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 New Zealand (127) (4%) 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 Canada (112) (4%) (1940 flag emoji not available) 🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿 Czechoslovakia (88) (3%) 🇦🇺 Australia (32) (1%) 🇧🇪 Belgium (28) (1%) 🇿🇦 S.

Nehajte govoriti popolne neumnosti. Hawker Hurricani RAF-a so bili DALEČ bolj napredni od vsega, kar so leteli Poljaki ali Čehi. Poleg tega je z njimi letelo 70 % eskadrilj RAF, od tega večina britanskih eskadrilj. Vaši predniki so se med drugo svetovno vojno z veseljem zatekli v Združeno kraljestvo in skupaj z njim nadaljevali boj proti nacističnemu režimu. Ne pozabite, da bi, če ne bi bilo Združenega kraljestva, nad Prago na Češkoslovaškem še danes plapolale svastike!!!

The parachutes were ALREADY in the cockpit, fitted into the "bucket seats" of the Spitfires and Hurricanes. The pilot simply jumped into the seat, and the attending ground crewman would then grab the harness shoulder straps, bring them forward over the pilot's shoulders to allow the pilot to clip them into the quick release buckle in his lap.

The UK was the ONLY place on earth being assaulted and threatened by the German Wehrmacht from July 1940 to April 1941. That is unless you can tell us more about how the luftwaffe launched its air assaults against Canberra, Ottawa, Delhi & Wellington? Or how the German army was poised to launch it's invasion of the Indian subcontinent and the British colonies in West Africa? Or how the Kriegsmarine attempted to strangle the British Empire out of the war by enforcing a blockade of Australia and New Zealand? Oops !!! NONE of those things happened because the ONLY nation facing ALL of those threats was the UK ALONE !!! Glad to have been of help explaining that simple fact to you.

@virginiawolf6431 In what way do you believe it would be "catastrophic for this country"? Also the UK has ALWAYS valued and provided nothing BUT respect for the nationalities who took part. Can you tell me how the British to whom the Polish nation now owes its very existence is celebrated by Poland? Are there memorials to the British across modern day Poland, and annual Polish thanksgiving ceremonies for the sacrifices made by the British during WW2?

Please provide us with the details of the luftwaffe air assaults on Canberra, Ottawa, Delhi and Wellington? Or how the Wehrmacht stood poised to launch its invasion of the Indian sub continent or the British west African colonies? Or how the Kriegsmarine attempted to strangle the British Empire out of the war by enforcing a u-boat blockade of Australia and New Zealand? Oh news just coming in...... NONE OF THOSE THINGS HAPPENED because the ONLY nation facing ALL of those threats between July 1940 and April 1941 was the United Kingdom ALONE. The Commonwealth was in 1940 mostly a distant vocal supporter. The defence of the UK in 1940 was maintained by 95% British troops and citizens. It was another year or so before the commonwealth contribution in Europe REALLY began to kick in. And if you want to correctly argue that Britain was supplied by its empire and the US then remember to add that nazi Germany was also supplied by its OWN empire of its recent European conquests (including some of the most heavily industrialised nations on the planet), as well as MILLIONS of tons of food, fuel and raw materials from their "best friend forever" the USSR (well, at least until 22nd June 1941), and also from Spain, Finland, Sweden & the Balkan countries... oh and not forgetting that US owned companies also supplied HUGE amounts of raw and finished materials to the nazis AS WELL as it did to the British, being a neutral profiteering bystander as it was until Dec 1941!!! In 1940 Britain saved itself INSPITE of the US as much as it did BECAUSE of the US.

@virginiawolf6431 What is it with clueless modern day Poles? They seem to have utterly NO idea that ultimately modern day Poland OWES its ENTIRE current existence to the British Empire ALONE. What do they imagine would have happened to Poland if Britain and France did as the ENTIRE rest of the world did in Sept 1939 and completely IGNORED the nazi / soviet dismemberment of Poland? Or if the isolated British Isles had instead decided to seek an armistice with the nazis after the fall of France in 1940? Do you all stupidly believe that you would liberate yourselves from nazi tyranny? Dream on. Let me tell you what would have happened in reality. Today Poland would not exist. It would simply be a footnote in modern history books, a former nation that would now be divided between nazi East Prussia and the "General Government" region of the nazi Empire. The former Polish cities would now be "Germanised" and each would STILL today have swastikas flying above them, and most chillingly of all, the likes of Sobibor, Chelmno, Belzec, Treblinka, Majdanek & Auschwitz would STILL be operating and belching human ashes into formerly Polish skies. Please give over with the almost CONSTANT insults at the UK, the nation that made a sacrifice of 460,000 of it's OWN citizen's lives, which ENTIRELY bankrupted itself, and which financed the Polish war effort in the west with UK tax payer's money, and due to those ruinous costs also lost its empire, ALL in the selfless effort to prevent a nazi domination of Europe, and saving YOUR Polish asses from extinction. Sincerest best wishes to all intelligent, decent Poles who understand the reality of the situation in WW2 from us in the UK. To all the idiot Polish commenters please leave your messages of thanks & gratitude to your British saviours below.

@MarkHarrison733 Is that why so many German and Italian POWs elected to stay in Britain after WW2 Mark?

Come come Jeremy. You know ALL about Hitler's "Fuhrerbefehl No 16". You know? The one where he EXPLICITLY orders the German OKW to organise and execute an invasion of the British Isles.

Pity you never dipped your hand into your pocket and paid to rebuild a squadron of Me 109Es for the film.

@Thehiddentruths-rj4fn Whoever you choose to look at it, a heavily outnumbered force of British fighters put the over hyped German luftwaffe on its arse & provided Germany with its FIRST strategic setback of WW2.
1
@Thehiddentruths-rj4fn It WAS a relative handful of people. Compare the active particapants of the battle to the numbers who later took part in the air war over Germany, or the US air effort in the Pacific.

@MarkHarrison733 Sepp Dietrich confirmed in August 1941 that you wear a bra under your homemade nazi uniform, Mark.

That's the same fuel that the Standard Oil company and the US government forbade the selling of a production licence to the UK for isn't it "Nick"? It's a pity the same company and US govt were only too happy to sell the same licence they had denied to the British to the nazi German state prior to WW2.

@MarkHarrison733 You know that even your hero Hitler thinks you're talking ABSOLUTE bollocks Mark !!! I only need to provide a SINGLE piece of verifiable information to prove my point. What better than the order issued by none other the Adolf Hitler himself? Below I've "copy and pasted" the preamble to Hitler's "Fuhrerbefehl No. 16" (Fuhrer Directive 16) issued from the "Berghof" (Hitler's "holiday home" in Bavaria) on 16th July 1940 to the German armed forces high command (OKW). The directive was transmitted over secure landlines encrypted in what the Germans believed was an unbreakable code, showing that it was NOT for the digest of the British and simply designed to initmidate them into coming to the surrender table, but was a true indication of Hitler's intent. "The Fuhrer And Supreme Commander Of The Armed Forces. The Fuhrer's Headquarters. 16th July, 1940. 7 copies Directive No. 16 -- On Preparations For A Landing Operation Against England Since England, in spite of her hopeless military situation, shows no signs of being ready to come to an understanding, I have decided to prepare a landing operation against England, and, if necessary, to carry it out. The aim of this operation will be to eliminate the English homeland as a base for the prosecution of the war against Germany and, if necessary, to occupy it completely." But as we both know the first phase of the operation, that being the battle of Britain, was smashed, meaning the rest of the plan was academic. The operation had been stopped in its first phase. What would be described in common parlance as "A resounding British victory".
