The Americans who died for Canada in WWII
#3

Actually there's a great many minorities who fought in WW2 and have been forgotten. Examples are the Hungarians in Finland, or the Spanish in Russia, or the negroes in the RAF. I'm sure there's plenty more, and looking at the end credits of the 1960's Battle of Britain film, I see all sorts of nationalities involved in flying for the RAF, including an israeli. Seven americans too, of whom, one died (he suffered engine failure after takeoff, and deliberately crash landed fatally to avoid hitting a school - his name has been honoured there)

I do recall however someone encountering a canadian pilot flying for the Luftwaffe in 1945.
