Captain X Of The RAF

The premise of Captain X of the RAF, posted on Four Color Shadows, suggests that its 1941 publication date was prior to Pearl Harbor.  Otherwise, this American hero would have been in the U.S. Army Air Corps, rather than the Royal Air Force.  That concept is based on fact, as there were many Americans who volunteered to fight and fly for the RAF.
