The thing about the Spit V Spit thing, On the Israeli side, The Canadian had been on Malta during the siege and had won A DFC and Bar. The American had flown a tour n Spits with the RAF before transferring to the US Navy and finally as a trest pilot with Bell Aviation. So, they were more experienced flyers, while the pilots on the RAF side were realitive new comers.
