Marmaduke Thomas St. John "Pat" Pattle was a South African-born fighter ace who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. Known as "Pat" Pattle, he is often regarded as one of the highest-scoring Allied aces, with estimates of his aerial victories ranging from 40 to over 50. Pattle flew with No. 80 Squadron in North Africa and Greece, achieving remarkable success against Italian and German forces. Known for his exceptional skill and bravery, he flew primarily in the Gloster Gladiator and Hawker Hurricane. Tragically, he was killed in 1941 during the Battle of Athens, leaving a legacy as one of the RAF's finest pilots. Based on the Fury biplane and designed by Sydney Camm as a monoplane fighter, the Hurricane was first flown on November 6th, 1935. With its wide-set landing gear, easy handling, reliability, and stable gun platform, the Hurricane was suitable for a variety of different roles such as intruder, ground strafing and night fighter. Steel-tube construction meant cannon shells could pass right through the wood and fabric covering without exploding. The Hurricane underwent many modifications during its lifetime, including an upgraded Merlin engine and interchangeable multi-purpose wings, staging twelve 7.7mm guns and two 40mm anti-tank guns and carrying two 500lb bombs. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
