Very nasty.
Having said that, many RAF fliers were helped by the French, and managed as a result to get back to Britain to carry on the good work. | interesting ndicki. my dad told me that many Australian bomber crews when flying near Russian captured territory had a card saying they were English but it was printed in Russian of course in the event they were shot down near Russian troops and bailed out. They could not tell the Russians they were Australians in case the Russians thought they said they were Austrian etc. So much for Allied Intelligence at the time. Great say the wrong phrase in Russian to your Allies and they would shoot you | |

Country:  | I wonder what they told the Poles to say - didn't matter who caught them, they were in trouble!

Country:  | I would probably choose Europe, because if I got shot down, I would be treated alot better than what the Japanese would do...

Country: | I voted Africa because of it's importance towards Naval Aviation. Swordfish, Martlets, Seafires, Spitfires, Hurri-bombers, Blenheims, Stukas!  And plenty of ground targets too, imagine being in a Stuka or Hurricane Mk IIC or D with bombs, rockets and cannons against a column of vehicles or tanks.  I would have voted for Europe, but Africa has too much GA appeal. | |

Country: | If you want ground attack appeal you should have taken Europe on the Eastern Front.

Country: | The Pacific.
I'm an Army brat and dad was stationed in Hawaii when I was a little guy.
I remember us going to Battle Ship row listening to dad tell of the attack there in 41. The Pacific has held my interest ever since. | |

Country: | I voted Pacific. Family is German, might have ended up shooting down a relative.
Plus I always wanted to shoot down a Zero.  | |

Country: | I voted Pacific, but could really go anywhere.
Give me a Corsair or a Mustang and I will go where ever you need me.
Definatly wishful thinking on my part, as I was born in 1962. | |
