I always thought Ireland was neutral in WW2, so how did they get into the RCAF/RAF?
Just a few of the most famous Irish RAF airmen:

Donald Garland VC (and his three brothers, who also all died serving with the RAF)

Eugene Esmonde VC

Brendan "Paddy" Finucane - youngest Wing Commander, and one of the highest-scoring aces.

And many more in the other services
