False. It seems that only 4 British-Argentine pilots flew with that fighter and fighter-bomber unit in 1942-45: Bridger (killed in flying accident in 1942), Sheward (posted to other squadron in 1943), Greene and Brownrigg (posted to other squadron in June 1944). The title "Argentine British" didn't refer to the nationality of the pilots, but to the funds-raising campaign on behalf of the RAF carried out in Argentina by the British community. It was a "donation squadron", like squadrons 247 "China British" (get it?), 263 " Fellowship of the Bellows-Argentina", 193 "Fellowship of the Bellows-Brazil" and 154 "Motor Industries". Nationalities of the pilots killed in action or in flying accident with 164 Squadron in 1942-1945: 9 British (born in Great Britain, not British-Argentines with British nationality), 4 Australians (Schaefer, Merrett, Roberts, and Mc Culloch), 1 Argentine (Bridger, as mentioned), 1 Canadian (Dennison), and 1 New Zealander (Trafford). Prisoners of war after being shot down over enemy territory: 1 Canadian (Young), 1 British (Russell), and 1 New Zealander (Waddy). I've included John M. Bryan among the British fatalities. Although he was the Wing Commander- a Wing is made up of some squadrons-, he led 164 Squadron in battle. Despite the contemporary popular delusion to the contrary, No. 164 RAF Squadron was not made up of Argentine volunteers. In the RAF there were many many many Argentine volunteers, that's out of question, but the hype of the "Argentine Squadron" in WW2 is based on a misunderstanding of the squadron's title: "Argentine British". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.39.48.137 ( talk) 12:20, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
I have undertaken a major edit of this article, as it suffered from many problems. Namely, there was an over-reliance on a single source (Galasso), little input from other historians on the war, and a near-total lack of information on the political and economic situation during the years previous to 1941. I have respected most of the original article as it was, not removing sources, but rather adding new sections, mainly focused on the political and economic situation previous to the war (Situation before the Great Depression, 1930 Military Coup, Uriburu and Justo governments), and the Ortiz and Castillo administrations during the early phase of the war. The only section that suffered a major rewrite was the lede, as I found it rather innacurate and an oversimplification of the state of affairs (re:situation previous to the war). On the rest, I simply made some minor changes and additions. I have also added more photographs to illustrate the article.
I welcome any suggestions or improvements to the article, as well as help with proper formatting on the sources, since I haven't extensively editted on Wikipedia in over 13 years (I had to create a new account because I couldn't even remember my password) and I was quite rusty.
