'Paddy' Finnucane is well remembered by Australians as well - he was a Flight Commander on 452 (RAAF) Sqn in 1941, helping the squadron to become a top scoring Fighter Command unit.
He mentored the boggies like 'Bluey' Truscott, Bardie Wawn and 'Throttle'-Smith, before they came back for the desperate NG campaign in 1942.
