Correct. I grant you this person was at least 16 to be fighting by 1945, so he was born before 1930. Not counted as a question, I will just adjust the summary accordingly.

[cdngooner]

Douglas Bader?

No. I'm going to be kind and assume you would have withdrawn that once you saw the "not a pilot" answer, so you still have your free guess.
