History

A former member of the French Foreign Legion, Robert Britton offered his services to the RAF at the outbreak of World War II in 1939 and was one of Britain's top air aces throughout the war. In October 1942 he was appointed to head up a new combined unit of British and American pilots operating behind enemy lines in North Africa, which he successfully managed to do despite some initial friction between the two units.
