Israeli's tended to call themselves that from the early 30's onwards when jews started to go to Palestine. Could be that the pilot became Israeli post war or was an original Palestine settler who then called himself Israeli ?
Israeli president Ezer Weizman was from Palestine and an RAF Fighter Pilot in WW2 as an example, 1942-1946, but not Battle of Britain.
