Ninety-eight pilots from New Zealand fought in the Battle of Britain in 1940. As part of the Commonwealth, many in New Zealand wanted to ‘do their bit’ for the Allies war effort and the near century of Kiwi pilots played a major part in the success of Fighter Command in the battle and thirteen (marked *) were killed with more being killed at a later stage in World War Two.
