Harold Edward Dahl Harold Edward Dahl ( 29 June 1909 – 14 February 1956 ) was a mercenary American pilot who fought in the Spanish Republican Air Force during the Spanish Civil War . He was a member of the " American Patrol " of the Andres Garcia La Calle group . He was nicknamed " Whitey " due to his very blond hair . Biography . Born in Champaign , Illinois , Dahl graduated from flying school at Kelly Field on 28 February 1933 and joined the U . S . Army Air Corps as a Second Lieutenant . His commission ended in 1936 due to gambling and subsequent court convictions . He then became a commercial pilot , but again gambling forced him to escape to Mexico . Dahl piloted charter and cargo flights carrying material for the Second Spanish Republic , as Mexico was one of the very few distant countries to support the Spanish government . He was told about the good salary paid for mercenary pilots and so he joined Spain under the name of Hernando Diaz Evans , Evans being his mother ' s maiden name . He reported nine kills in this unit , though only five were ever confirmed . During the reorganization of the Fighter Squadrons in May 1937 , Dahl was posted to a squadron with a large variety of nationalities . Frank Glasgow Tinker said that this made it very hard for a pilot to coordinate his place in the group during fighting . It seems that this was the case on June 13 of that year , where he was surprised by enemy planes and was shot down and taken prisoner . Initially sentenced to death , there were some diplomatic movements to free Dahl . His first wife Edith Rogers , a known singer of impressive beauty , was said to have visited Francisco Franco herself to plead for his life . This story later became the basis of the 1940 movie Arise , My Love . He remained in prison until 1940 and then returned to the United States . After he and Edith Rogers divorced , he accepted another mercenary job , this time with the Royal Canadian Air Force ( RCAF ) and served during World War II . He trained RCAF pilots for combat in Europe at an airfield near Belleville , Ontario . It was here that he met his second wife Eleanor Bowne , the daughter of the richest man in Belleville . After the war , he was accused of stealing decommissioned equipment from the RCAF . Around 1951 , Dahl joined the airline Swissair and lived in Switzerland . In 1953 he was caught smuggling gold with his girlfriend and was expelled from the country , an event that compelled his second wife to divorce him . Back in Canada , he became a cargo pilot flying DC - 3 s when on 14 February 1956 he was killed during a crash in bad weather . Harold Edward Dahl was survived by his three children by his second wife Eleanor :
