Naturally. The British have stolen much from other countries, trying to take what credit they could here and there (I'm sorry, but it tends to be true). He was an IRISH ace, not English. He was technically a citizen of Ireland and an Irishmen, hence, so he should be remembered as one, NOT as an English ace...
