Next question:

Sir Kenneth (Ken) Adam (production designer on Dr Strangelove, several James Bond films and many others), his brother Denis Adam and Peter Stevens (convicted fraudster, MI6 spy and businessman) are the only three people to share a particular distinction. What is it?

 

[Gloster]

German nationals who flew with the RAF in World War II, which would have put them in a somewhat equivocal position if the Germans had known. I believe that Peter Stevens actually ended up in Stalag Luft II.

What was this, and for a bonus point, can you supply a small snippet of it's history ?
