This link has interesting information on Ireland’s involvement due WW2 where it was bombed by the Luftwaffe ….and at times german and us/raf were interned as POWs effectively when they bailed out or crashed / landed ……tho some were allowed to return to their services – mostly the US/RAF personnel.
Without Ireland in WW2 on the allied side, would the war been any much harder i wonder?
The staging flights from the US to Ireland ( and also vice versa) surely helped transport new aircraft to the RAF and Europe?
