Thanks for the answers, i think this suggests i really should read more books lol
The first real test for the mighty Nazi Luftwaffe came during the Battle of Britain over southern England in 1940.
Lots of people from many allied countries, including the USA, had pilots in the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain 1940. The American pilots were young flyers who had joined the RAF via Canada and then came over to UK.

In addition to Eagle Squadron, there were also the Polish Squadrons RAF, French fighter pilots, Czechs, New Zealanders, Rhodesians, Australians and many others too.

The United States joined battle against Nazi Germany following the unprovoked attack upon Pearl Harbor by the Imperial Japanese Navy, soon after which Adolf Hitler declared war on the USA.
From January 1942 American forces began arriving here in UK. By June of 1944 the invasion of Normandy began - 6th June 1944.
From c1942 to the end of WW2 the USAAF (United States Army Air Force) ran thousands of bombing missions over Nazi Germany and other enemy target areas.

By about 1943 the USAAF had the world famous Mustang fighter, powered by a Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engine - this fighter could fly from England right into the heart of Nazi Germany (Berlin) and back again. When Goering saw these American fighter planes over Berlin, he said, "for us the war is lost." Quite right fatso.
