Correct. I grant you this person was at least 16 to be fighting by 1945, so he was born before 1930. Not counted as a question, I will just adjust the summary accordingly.

Three more questions to find this English-born WW2 fighter.

1,13. First language English.
2,7. Real dead human; born before 1930, and may have lived in Canada > 5 years.
3,10,16. Born in England.
4,5,8,15,17. Primarily known for fighting in WW2.
6. No "E" in full first name.
9,14. Born 1900-1929.
11. Died aged 70 or older (1970-2024).
12. Not black.

I'll say no. I can't exclude that perhaps he had a private pilot's license or something, but he was not a military pilot, assuming that is what you are after.

Douglas Bader?
No. I'm going to be kind and assume you would have withdrawn that once you saw the "not a pilot" answer, so you still have your free guess.
