If an un-sourced statement in the Mahal article is correct, he was partly responsible for shooting down three RAF Spitfires when he was serving in the IAF. In other words, him being a Canadian, I'm pretty sure it constitutes some sort of treason, amongst various other crimes. Pavuvu (talk) 23:51, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Goodlin, though ex-RCAF, was American. His wingman on that flight, John McElroy, was Canadian. McElroy was in fear of the law for some years afterwards and could possibly have hanged for treason ('making war on the King's subjects'), but in fact Britain didn't choose to pursue either of the two mercenaries, perhaps partly because none of the downed RAF pilots was killed and partly because Goodlin and McElroy were merely incompetent rather than malicious. It was treated as a blue-on-blue, a misunderstanding. Idiots gonna idiot. Khamba Tendal (talk) 17:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
