Belgian Royal Air Force Pilots (Credits: Argunners)
Identified pilots in above picture: Stassens, Neyskens, Seurmans and Labye. Can you help identifying other names?
As of December 2014, the RAF officially recognizes 30 Belgians as having participated in the Battle of Britain of whom 18 did not survive the war. Two all-Belgian fighter squadrons in the RAF were formed later in the war but at the time of the Battle of Britain all Belgian pilots were mixed into British units. By the summer of 1940, Belgians made up around half of No. 609 Squadron RAF, flying Spitfires. Nos. 235 and 236 Squadrons of RAF Coastal Command also had unusually significant numbers of Belgians at 8 and 6 respectively.
