Agree! Nah!

Sir, I must disagree!

Many games can be played with rank between different nations.

There is a bit in Group captain Cheshire's bio where he and some fellow officers were about to be stuck on Ascension Island due to an aircraft issue. He approached the harassed US NCO who was making alternative travel arrangements and asked him if he knew what a four star general was, Cheshire then said "in our Air Force it is one ring per star". Chesire and his companions were on the next flight off the island

Earlier in the book he comments that several of his US friends commiserated with him when he went from Wing Commander to Group Captain
A Group in the US Air Force is part of a wing...

So, a Brigadier is only a general in armies that do not pronounce lieutenant correctly?



Cheers, Martyn
